"Whole Systems Thinking as a Basis for Paradigm Change in Education"

Here's a thesis that overlaps with my interests:

I'd like to actually test a hypothesis through empirical research, so I think I'd push further into theoretical controversies than Sterling does here, and present findings that have punchier, more immediate and defined implications, but his thesis actualizes many of the broad research interests I've been thinking about. Anyway, I was curious what the rest of you would think about Sterling's work, does it relate at all to your own interests?
