On this first installment, we are offering a wide frame of reference in regards to the educational process. It covers the stage of human development between the ages of 4 and 17 years. Even beyond the teen years, our suggestions can be utilized for the planning of introductory university courses.

With the purpose of explaining the multiple aspects that characterize the development of the human being, we will identify three vast areas: knowlege, personality and human relations. The conceptualization of each one of these three areas allows us to identify their corresponding aspects specifically.
