| Characteristics
The Individual Unicist Strategy Program for Postgraduates was
developed to provide technologies to approach complex problems
and uncertainty.
Complexity
and uncertainty have two possible approaches:
1) The probabilistic
approach
2) The unicist ontological approach
The unicist
approach includes both.
Reflection
is required to approach the ontology. Unicist reflection integrates
the “action-thought - action” process when dealing
with non-complex problems and the “action-reflection-action” approach when facing complexity or uncertainty.
The
program includes:
1)
Individual learning agreement
2) Talent diagnosis
3) Unicist technologies
4) Diagnoses of actual cases
5) Counseling driven learning
6) Quarterly Symposia
7) Group exchange (Atheneum)
8) Complementary tools
9) Blue Eagle X-pert System (BEES)
1)
Individual learning agreement
The
counselor proposes a learning agreement based on the participant’s
background, knowledge, interests and objectives. Such learning
agreement with the participant includes short term and long term
commitments.
2)
Talent diagnosis
The
talent diagnosis of each participant is made by his counselor
using the Blue Eagle X-pert System. The output of this diagnosis
is used to develop the participant’s learning plan.
3)
Unicist technologies
A complete
set of unicist books is provided. It includes the technologies
necessary to achieve the objectives included in the learning agreement.
4)
Diagnosis of actual cases
Diagnoses
and their feedback drive the objective aspects of the learning
process. This process implies a permanent “action-reflection-action” process. It includes the diagnoses of several cases, including
their prognoses and their feed-back to confirm their forecasts.
Diagnoses
are monitored by participants using the Blue Eagle X-pert System.
Counselors are responsible for the fallacy-shooting of the application
process.
5)
Counseling driven learning
The unicist approach to reality based on its nature requires an individual counseling process. Counselors are responsible for backing the foundation building process of the diagnoses developed by participants.
To do so they foster and guide participants in the use of the reflection process applied to real complex problem solutions.
Counseling driven learning includes:
1) A daily activity to guide participant's knowledge acquisition process.
2) A counseling activity (a full-time day every fortnight) in which participants present the problems they need to solve.
3) Monitoring of the real cases developed by participants during the learning process. It includes the use of the BEES (Blue Eagle X-pert System).
The first activity is teaching driven, the second is learning driven and the third activity provides quality assurance for the applications. These activities are integrated in the “action - thought / reflection - action” process, which is one of the fundamentals of the unicist personalized education.
6) Participation in quarterly symposia
To learn about new discoveries and to share experiences in the application of unicist technologies with users (International Unicist Conference).
7) Group exchange (Atheneum)
Participants
have the possibility of exchanging experiences with colleagues.
The exchange of experiences leverages the reflection process and
improves the quality of the original solutions developed by participants.
8)
Complementary tools
The
program includes the use of complementary tools for unicist strategy
building. Among others, the following tools are accessible from
their original developers:
1) C-map – concept mapping for strategy building
2) Protegé – for conceptual IT design
3) Taverna – for conceptual design in the field of life-sciences
4) Hozo – for conceptual engineering
9)
Blue Eagle X-pert System (BEES)
Over
2000 researches on the unicist ontologies in the field of individual,
institutional and social evolution made the development of the
expert system possible. The finding of the structure and contents
of the realities researched was the basis for the development
of the BEES.
The
BEES – Blue Eagle X-pert System develops diagnoses based
on ontological/logical inferences based on the rules established
by the unicist ontology of evolution.
The
BEES processes the objective monitoring of the diagnoses made
by participants. |
