Deconstructing Reductionism: Is Gestalt the answer?
( A repost of mine from fb group 'Soul of University on 31st Dec 2021 ) I read this article with intrigue. The same construct we see is ruining HE. However this article is recommending employing gestalt (big picture mentality) to remedy the problem. But i think this will only add a third layer system which would only exacerbate the problem. I would still prefer slicing open the "Gordian knot", since it is already a big ball of mess. We need to deconstruct the tools n mechanisms we wittingly put in place in higher education that currently is ruining it.
