    All  learning and teaching are reflexive processes  in
which the people who are   involved  reflect upon previous
decisions,   actions  and  experiences in feed-back  loops
which  move  the students and  teachers  towards  mutually
satisfying changes in attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs.
Thus it is absurd to act as  if  the objective paradigm of
scientists  who  focus  nearly exclusively upon  objective
relationships can lead towards  wise insights into what is
essential   to  healthy  learning and teaching;  and  also
lead towards  wise  insights   into  what  is  central  in
disintegrative learning and teaching.

    The  improvement  of  instruction  and  learning  will
inevitably   involve   reflexive  processes   which   will
transcend  the  exclusivity  of  compulsive  objectivists,
measurers,  computers,    and manipulators---who  seek  to
achieve  control over  processes;   without admitting that
they  thereby  seek  to achieve some measure  of  respect,
admiration  and  self esteem---which  would  be  reflexive
responses to their presumably objective behaviors.  People
who   are participating  in collusive games of mutual self
deception  cannot  honestly hope to promote both  personal
and  communal  integrity  in  the  learning  and  teaching
professions.
