Abstract

Schools in the industrial era brought educational opportunity to the entire population. In the 21st Century, we are evolving to understand that education can be individualized for each learner. This evolutionary step is an historic paradigm shift. As with any major paradigm shift, new ways of thinking about systems are needed. To move out of the 20th century paradigm into the information age requires an ability to surface hidden assumptions that guide our thinking about how a system should work. Thomas Kuhn’s, “Structure of Scientific Revolutions” and E.O. Wilson’s, “Consilience” provide the framework for this discussion.
