(education, of a learning strategy) That concentrates on forming an overview of the topic..
Pask suggests that these strategies reflect basic learning styles; holist strategies reflect a comprehension learning style and serialist strategies an operation learning style.
Pask described the two strategies as 'holist' and 'serialist'.[…]Learners who adopt a holist strategy (described as comprehension learners) like to get an overview of a topic.
The serialist/holist cognitive style is a measure of a bipolar information-processing strategy that describes the way that learners select and represent information (Pask, 1976; Pask & Scott, 1972).
The holists generally claimed that the variety of the clinical pictures was not intrinsic to aphasia, although it was recognized that aphasic patients differ in many respects, not only the severity of the language disorder.
Holism is more eclectic in its methods; for most holists, rigor means reconstructing the meaning of an action in the subject's own terms, and interpreting it in light of a richly detailed cultural, social, and historical context.
By contrast, the holists, like Emile Durkheim, regard individual action as only a reaction to pressures exerted by society as a whole: they are right in stressing the social embeddedness of individual action.
Those subjects using a serialist strategy tended to proceed in a step-by-step manner, whereas the holists adopted a more global approach to what was to be learned.
They^([serialists]) learn rules, methods and details more readily than the holists.
Use holist when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
