For this presentation, Dr. Nolan will highlight some of his research and show how using the Four Quadrants model as a heuristic in the teaching of urgent, open-ended, and ill-structured issues like climate change can create transformational insight that reveals etic-to-emic shifts in perspective, individual and collective critical reflections, and holistic orientations to problem-solving. In a framework he calls socioscientific perspectives, Dr. Nolan will showcase some of his findings from a study he conducted that looked at college students' informal reasoning in their understanding and learning of climate change. The presentation will be followed by a discussion with the integral community on the developmental nature of the findings, and how to further create educational opportunities that apply Integral Theory in meaningful and personally-relevant ways.
