Educere A more integral approach & methodology is direly needed in order to better internalize a more holistic, integral perspective in learning optimally. It is always essential to be where the learner's at and attempt challenging beyond, in order to better empower the learner, allowing for meaningful assimilation; not just 'banking education,' i.e., merely making deposits that don't necessarily empower: becoming evermore conscientised in the process of becoming... Education, like counseling, should be an ongoing, meaningful process which facilitates better serving the client's optimal growth-and-development, the desideratum. Higher-thinking skills (analysis-synthesis-evaluation) can be stimulated towards developing an evermore discriminating consciousness ... (this is the epitome, both East and West, as in Bloom's Taxonomy and Integral Yoga). Too often we tend to dichotomize (split) rather than integrating and unifying oppositional, contending, clashing forces holistically, nondually, for to dichotomize is to pathologize. Education in its etymological sense means to bring to an understanding, to educe, i.e., to reconcile, draw out: in posse (possibility) -> in esse (Essence). Consequently, by using appropriate terminology - comprehension - computing exercises for competency mastery meaningfully and knowledgeably; thus, empowering the learner/client towards achieving exemplary success! - The sine qua non.
