Integrated Learning Approach
Intro
A pedagogical method of survey-scope learning where a topic is covered across all disciplines, sectors, cultures, spacetime scales, ergonomics, variations, historical context, social context, economic context, governance, types, models, and industries. Applies to pedagogy in technology, humanities, and social sciences.
Example: Pumps class: covers well pumps, refrigerator compressors, boosters for 15ksi, engines, hydraulic cylinders and motors. Same thing. Chamber, piston, seal, geometry, valves, logic, etc.
Psychology: performance psychology, growth mindset, fascism, emotions, ethics, morals, artificial scarcity, wealth distribution, education, The Code of Capital, Exonomy of Affection, psychiatry, drugs, chistry, biology, geography, culture, built enviroemt and architecture, history, epigenetics, metacrisis, international relations. All these must be acknowledged to understand one's psychology or social psychology.
Basically, to understand any topic one must draw from as many related sources as possible to facilitate the neural net creation process of learning. Naturally, such an approach is mindmap-like and integrative.
