Abstract

Objectives This study tried to achieve two objectives by exploring the meaning of ‘Relations-Convergence Facilitating’. First, it is to suggest the meaning of relations-based, essence-centered facilitating that can realize convergence in the era of VUCA. Second, it is to suggest implications for facilitation or facilitator education that can more appropriately respond to the changes in the times of VUCA.
 Methods To explore the meaning of ‘Relations-Convergence Facilitating’, the hermeneutical method in the form of literature was taken to interpret the meaning of the theoretical text as accurately as possible. To explore the meaning of ‘facilitating’, ‘relations’, and ‘convergence’, Schleiermacher’s hermeneutical cycle was repeated, centering on the theoretical text selected as each interpretation frame, going back and forth among the parts and the whole.
 Results The meaning of ‘Relations-Convergence Facilitating’ revealed the multilayered meaning in three aspects. First, ‘ontological integration’ means integrated facilitating that superimposes inter-subjective and inter-objective teaching behaviors. Second, ‘epistemological scalability’ means expanding compatible recursive relations by expanding awareness of relations in the facilitating context and by practicing authentic relationships. Third, ‘methodological insight’ means deconstructing the binary oppositional structure related to the problem situation at the macro level and insight into various meanings revealed in the center and the periphery. At the micro level, it means insight into the practical methods of relational perspective that coordinates the diversification of interpretation, the convergence of meaning, and the characteristics of each type of empathy.
 Conclusions The meaning of ‘Relations-Convergence Facilitating’ is to solve the problems of real life that require convergence in the era of VUCA. It is to practice the meaning in life through hermetical circle and fusion of horizon(structural coupling). This study presented the implications of two aspects of the existing facilitation and facilitator education.
