Dear Christina,
I think that with the access to Internet and open learning we need to turn to a more «renaissance spirit», everything is interconnected and we can’t go on learning according to «discipline drawers». In school we keep the 45 minute time for each discipline controlled by ringbells. It’s like John Taylor Gatto says:
«…the institution (school) is psychopathic – it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to a different cell where he must memorize that humans and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.»
Many authors have addressed this problem, such as Edgar Morin in his UNESCO publication «Seven Complex Lessons for the Future»(1999) considering a global world, complex and multidimensional:
«The education of the future is faced with this universal problem because our compartmentalized, piecemeal, disjointed learning is deeply drastically inadequate to grasp realities and problems which are ever more global, transnational, multidimensional, transversal, polydisciplinary and planetary.»
