Abstract

The change of civilization that we are experiencing focuses the need to build up new educational paradigms capable of laying bridges between the current disciplines, which are still unconnected to one another, and between this interdisciplinary synthesis and the cognitive, affective and social aspects of students. In our minds there are no isolated thoughts, sensations or feelings. On the contrary, with all these factors we articulate networks of meanings which constitute the bases of what we use to interpret observed phenomena. At the same time, such networking is referential for our actions. The theory of organizing models explains mental development as the result of the progressive construction of networks in dynamic and organized systems of mental representations. Such networks help us to move mentally through even more extensive areas of a world that is unique and diverse.

Keywords: Culture, education, theory of organizing models, mental representations, organization, thoughts, feelings.
