Integral Quadrants Brief

Learning Outcomes:
  • To become familiar with the Integral Quadrants
  • To apply Integral Theory to an actual experience
  • To investigate whether the quadrants cover all areas of experience
  • To work as a team
Task: Answer this question: Does the quadrant map give us an accurate map of a event/experience?
Do this by:
Working in your original groups, take your findings from the Legacy project, categorise and analyse them using the quadrants. Submit your project on a blog. Mail the names of your group with your blog address and email addresses to: marksplendid@gmail.com. Hand-in date: 23 October 2012 8:30 am

Guidelines:
  • The analysis will show you the emphasis of the learning approach in the department, compare this with the solutions you came up with; ie compare your new findings with your original ones
  • Look for 'gaps' in your original exploration, do the quadrants actually cover all areas?
  • Make your blog entry flow, ie have an introduction, middle and conclusion
  • Use images, graphs diagrams where necessary
Assessment Criteria:
  • What is the level of understanding of the quadrants?
  • What is the level of writing? (is the introduction, body and conclusion coherent)
  • What is the level of professionalism in the presentation? ( legibility, flow, use of images)
