ABSTRACT
In this book, we have searched for answers to questions related to the nature of wisdom and the potential of educational practices for nurturing attributes related to wisdom in students. In this section, we discuss our findings and limitations of the two review studies. As an outcome of our review of recent major wisdom models, we presented a new metamodel, the Holistic Wisdom Model (HWM). This model has natural similarities with the former four metamodels described in Part I, and we agree with Glück and Weststrate’s observation that there are clear resemblances across different wisdom models. Both a quantitative analysis by Glück and Weststrate and our qualitative analysis led to more or less similar results. However, in the HWM some crucial conceptual clarifications have been made compared to all former models and metamodels.
