Learning Ethos

Holistic Learning

Head, Heart and Hands Approach

At All Nations, we believe that people are whole beings and learn best when subjects are taught in an integrated way, addressing our minds, attitudes and our ability to do things. Thoughts (the cognitive domain), feelings (the affective domain) and acts (the psychomotor domain) are rarely discrete entities but are the expression and combination of who we are.

Traditionally training focuses on these three learning domains. We acknowledge, however, that when we learn in a more connected way - with head, hearts and hands all engaged - that this integration ensures fuller assimilation of each subject into the understanding and experience of the learner, thus enabling a process of personal and group transformation through the learning experience.

So if you come to All Nations be prepared to engage not only your head (mind, intellect) but also your heart (character, emotions) and hands (actions, relationships and practical skills), trusting that God will use this approach as a tool for transformation.
