Synopsis
The holistic approach emphasizes the development of active relationships at all levels. This relationship can be between individuals, between peer groups or between the individual and society. Recent research on holistic education and learning shows that the holistic approach has begun beginning to be emphasized. The holistic approach is usually focused on values education and management. The holistic approach entered the literature in the 1980s when Canadian scholar John P. Miller published “The holistic curriculum”. It can therefore be concluded that the holistic approach is based on the fact that the knowledge and skills to be acquired are related to others in the integrity of life, both in terms of content and design, and that the individual perceives the whole earlier and more easily.
