Existential understanding: a pedagogical approach to promoting life

The article addresses the importance of the methodology of existential understanding within the context of reflective pedagogy. It proposes parameters that educators can use in developing a situated consciousness, where a vision of the indivisible totality is made evident through the ongoing integration of the mental ecosystem's three facets: knowledge, sensitivity, and action. It suggests that educators build a solid base of existential understanding so as to lend significance to their knowledge and to the actions they take on stage.
