Making the connections
Creating integrated research & development perspectives that are essentially transdisciplinary (research teams/workshops/dedicated advanced learning events; ex.: LDIs Meaning of Learning project).
Investigating phenomena at the level of units of analysis that are meaningful in themselves (ex.: LDIs Learning Stories research).
Exploring connections between learning at different levels of complex organization (ex: Learning Cities).
Ensuring that new generations of humans start off on the right foot and become cognitively socialized appropriately:
- early mental development
- infant learning
- the family as transgenerational learning environment
- the school as a space for socialization into a life of lifelong learning with a proper emphasis on problem-based learning
- adult lifelong learning (part of the eternal dialogue).
Taking a look at consciousness (metacognition) in the human-animal/primate-machine connection.
Connecting cognition and emotion (and meta-cognition/emotion).
