Living "in bardo"

A colleague's blog, In Bardo, makes an interesting connection to Buddhist philosophy and the concept of bardo to introduce the relationship between cognitive dissonance and learning new technologies.  Elsewhere, she connects this concept to the teacher-research process: "...that place of being in the unknown, the uncertainty that is needed for the creative solution to emerge."  This reminded me of this model of teacher-research by Carol Kuhlthau.

  1. Interesting model that gives shape to the bardo learning process. I am surprised that the model doesn't indicate "action" after (or would it be before) search closure. Or is "relief" the temporary closure, the breathing in, before then applying and moving into action, be the action so simple as integration or application?
