I am writing a paper at the moment about a methodology I developed with colleagues for professional development of practioners of any discipline facing the need for transformative scale change in their workplaces. We created a two day conference intensive with a group of 15 - 20 participants. Our program used a form of self determining, "systemic pedagogy", where systems thinking regarding bounded differences and their synthesising dynamics rebounded back into multiple domains and dimensions. In my literature research I am finding it difficult to find texts about this way of desgning pedagogy. and this form of pedagogy as the architecture of interactive adult learning for transformative change. Some refer to sociology beyond the classroom, some to Hellinger's constellations work. Does anyone have any thoughts or references that we can peruse?
Dear Dr Susan Woff,
Would you please try reading books and papers about "transformative learning" by Prof. Jack Mezirow, Prof. Edward Taylor and others as there would be some relevant literature on adult education, communicative learning and implications to pedagogy.
Hello - and thank you Tuan for these references. I am fmailiar with Mezirow - but not Taylor... so I will pursue!
Hi Susan,
Try the following for which I provide links below

Also an article titled
Systemic Pedagogy: an education, based on balance, order and bonds by Quinn
Álvarez Nunez (2013) published in RELADEI, Vol.2 (3), Diciembre 2013, 71-98
ISSN: 2255 -0666
Key resources are several books on systems education by Bela Banathy, and the works of the Hawkesbury Group in Australia (Bawden, Packham, Ison and others). A search in Systems Practice will turn up the latter. Best wishes, Gerald
Dear friends - and hello Gerald!! - Thank you so very much for your references - they will be harvested with enthusiasm... I will load a draft of the paper here too..... Blessings
Susan
You also may one to look at work one of my former PhD students (Inge Damen - Van Seggelen) did regarding a systemic perspective on reflective questioning:

Dear Susan,
I have a wealth of research papers which may assist you to answer this question. See my profile and download if you want a paper, specifically those published for the development of a cybernetic model.
With kind regards

I am very interested in this discussion. I am also working on applying system approaches to curriculum development. If you look in my profile, there are two articles that might interest you. The procedures might not be as relevant given changes in the internet structure of the resources, but I hope you get the idea I tried to present. I plan to follow your work.
Greeting friends
Here is a draft of our paper - we look forward to any critical review or references that you think are missing. WE have met our word limit of 6000. This paper is now underoing review with ALARj - so obviously not yet published or ready for referencing. Thank you again for your wonderfl interst in this work - Susan
Dear friends
We have finally been published - thank you for your enthusiastic support and contributions. We will be delivering more conference intensives in Australia and internationally and all continue to theorise and write about this very different approach to conferencing. If you would like to talk with me about this approach you can contact me on [email protected] - The publication can be found at INFORMIT - Colliver, Goff, Reedy and Vaartjes: Systemic Pedagogy: A design for action researcher collective self development - ALARj 21 (1) (2015) 53-76 © 2015 Action Learning, Action Research Association Inc
