| Summary: | This paper aims to propose a model of holistic personality which is designed by using transformative
educational approach. Initially, it will discuss on the issue of dual personality which creates dilemma facing
the humankind resulted from the rapid changes brought by globalization and its impacts. Then, the
characteristic and indicators of holistic personality from a transformative educational approach will be
elucidated in order to develop a model of personality. Finally, some implications of this proposed model of
holistic personality will be discussed. The world today witnesses numerous problems such as corruption,
oppression, depression, and aggression. These phenomena are infecting even those highly educated people
throughout the world including Eastern and Western countries. The existing systems of education seem
facing failure in developing a good personality of man. The modern system of education was seemingly has
high value but producing alienated individuals whereas the traditional system of education tends to be
neglected and thus, producing unproductive individuals. Their products have opposing world-views, lifestyles and personalities. This issue becomes a major concern for contemporary scholars, certain efforts
could be taken such as; construct a set of universal ethical system with the universality of religion as the way
of life for all mankind and its value centered system of education could cause a global paradigm shift and
educational change. This effort requires the elaboration of universal and core values and their significances
on cultural and social system. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop an individual with a holistic
personality. As a consequence, the system of education and its approach should be transformed to be more
holistic. This transformative education should ensure the cumulative effect of the whole set of programmes
will prepare the young generation with a strong personality to face the challenges in the twenty-first century.
This conceptual research focuses on developing a theory to design a model of holistic personality. It involves
the integration of three domains of research processes namely conceptual, methodological and substantive.
It is hoped that its findings will benefit educators, academics, counsellors and parents for developing
personality of a person. |
