Quantum Thinking

This chapter that I just read was pretty strange.  It was about quantum thinking, which is looking at the world in a new way based on quantum physics.  Vella talks about 6 quantum topics and how they relate to adult education.  The six topics are:

Relatedness:  everything in teaching is related to the 12 principles of adult education

A holistic approach: the participants learn more than we teach them

Duality: hear from both sides

Uncertainty: we don’t know what we don’t know

Participation: you are part of your own learning and environment

Energy:  Learning and teaching requires energy

She explains how these 6 quantum topics are related to the 12 principles of adult education that she has defined earlier.  I wasn’t totally making the connection myself

I can see how some of these quantum topics are related but she only picked 6 show I wonder why she made this connection in the first place.  I feel like you could tie most things into adult education and the 12 principles she listed.  I could say, a football team is like adult education.  Everyone has a different role and different background but they all are working towards the same goal.  A facilitator is similar to a quarterback, they lead the group but it takes a contribution from everyone to be successful.  I hope that later in the book I make more connections that I can use.
