Another Major Problem

Abstract

This chapter continues to explore the holistic pedagogical approach of quality willed learning. Another major problem is often so close to our noses we do not see it as a problem. A basic problem is frequently missed by many, because it deals with what is difficult to quantify and measure. This major problem is that we give lip service to process. Most agree that everything is in a continual process of change yet because it is difficult to conceptualize, and measure, change is given little attention even though specific, clearly defined, changes are given attention. Quality, willed learning attends to process. Scientists notice well. One’s noticing is equivalent to one’s awareness. Expanded awareness helps one notice more. Before one pays attention, one often needs to intend to pay attention. It may be helpful to pay attention and be aware of one’s awareness since one’s awareness precedes thought. Hypothesis formation is clearly a part of scientific endeavor. There are trans-logical elements to forming hypothesis. Hypothesis formation is usually not linear.

At the moment you are most in awe of all there is about life that you don’t understand, you are closer to understanding it all than at any other time.
