Synthesis: A Poetic Exploration of the Integral Model Investigating the Interconnected Strands of Mindfulness in Our Educational Landscapes
Holmes, Kimberley
in education, v20 n2 p121-134 Aut 2014
As a researcher, I am seeking a mode of inquiry that would allow for a reflection on mindfulness and the role it plays in curriculum and learning. Needing to merge my personal voice with the diverse educational landscape, I found that poetic storytelling allowed me to "present possibilities for understanding the complex, mysterious, even ineffable experiences that comprise human living" (Chambers, Hasbe-Ludt, Leggo, & Sinner, 2012, p. xx). Using first-person autoethnographical narrative as a research methodology and the Integral Model as a theoretical framework (Wilber, 2000, 2006, Wilber, Patten, Leonard, & Morelli, 2008), the interconnected strands of mindfulness are synthesized within the four quadrants of the model. Self, Science, Storytelling, and Systems are components of mindfulness that together formulate a holistic understanding as "integral theory weaves together the significant insights from all major human disciplines of knowledge, including natural and social science as well as the arts and the humanities" (Visser, 2003).
