Leading to a New Paradigm: The Example of Bioregional Mapping.
Shapiro, David W.
Educational Technology, v36 n1 p14-16 Jan-Feb 1996
Examines bioregional mapping as an example of how a different system (educational or otherwise) could be designed through shifting the focus of figure-ground gestalts and revisioning core metaphors. Discusses the notions of community and place, the potential for cognitive restructuring, literal and conceptual maps, and the potential of solving social and environmental problems. (AEF)
