Developing HeXie mindset in sytegrative education for sustainable personal growth in transnational educators

Globalization and technological advancements pose challenges to educators, demanding continuous professional development (CPD) to support institutional growth. Transformations in higher education reveal gaps in governance, organizational structures, and educational models. HeXie Mindset, a framework blending systemic thinking with Eastern and Western philosophies, equips educators to navigate uncertainty, complexity, and change. When combined with Syntegrative Education-an approach emphasizing interdisciplinary, student- centered, and practical learning-this framework fosters adaptable, innovative educators. By integrating workplace learning, technology, and collaborative leadership, these models empower educators to address global challenges and drive institutional innovation. This paper explores how the synergy of HeXie Mindset and Syntegrative Education offers sustainable pathways for CPD, enabling educators to thrive in transnational contexts and ensuring institutions remain agile, inclusive, and forward- looking in an interconnected and competitive higher education landscape.
