Hi James! Thanks for your input! To your point, sometimes systematic search is at odds with the lifelong learning approach if the emphasis is totally on accomplishing a short-term outcome as opposed to a longer-term result. Systematic search, as a concept and a technique, can be invaluable as an aid to the input, processing, output flow as long as there is, at least, some focus on how concepts and applications can support longer-term goals, given that many of the skills we teach in career education are specific, immediate and sequential. Just curious, do you think that the input, processing output flow is linear or circular? Can it be multi-dimensional? Jay ED106 Facilitator
