Creative Emergence, Order, and Chaos

Learning

Novotna, Jarmila; Sarrazy, Bernard

Pages: 19 –33

[The idea of the child “creator” is historically associated with its activity and with “construction” of connaissances and savoirs2. These ideas developed within pedagogical streams, namely in active pedagogy, and their boom was brought about with the emergence of constructivism especially with...

Investigating Mathematical Creativity in Elementary School through the Lens of Complexity Theory

Levenson, Esther

Pages: 35 –51

[This chapter explores the practical application of complexity theory to the investigation of mathematical creativity in elementary school classrooms. While previous studies have investigated ways of assessing students’ potential for mathematical creativity (Lee, Hwang, & Seo, 2003; Mann, 2009)...

On the Edge of Chaos

Coxon, Steve V.

Pages: 53 –64

[Robot is a term first coined in 1920 by Czech playwright Karel Capek from the Czech word for forced labor, robota (James & Leon, n.d.). Although once only a playwright’s fancy, today’s robots labor around the world and beyond, and they are playing increasingly important roles in society. Robots...

The Ubiquity of the Chaos-Order Continuum

Ambrose, Don

Pages: 67 –86

[When considering the extent to which complexity theory applies to diverse phenomena it is interesting to consider the structure and dynamics of various academic disciplines. Epistemological frameworks and problem-solving heuristics can differ markedly when one passes through the border...

[Several years ago, in a spontaneous, self-organising way, a group of colleagues and I initiated a creative act in our organisation. We generated a series of workshops for ourselves in order to improve our work, engage in problem solving, and learn from each other. Our community of practice...

Complex Regenerative Creativity

Hauk, Marna

Pages: 97 –121

Pareto Optimum Efficiency Between Chaos and Order When Seeking Consensus in Urban Planning

Juhasz, Todd

Pages: 123 –140

[Urban planning is a diverse field that encompasses land use, transportation, economic development, environmental planning, and more. Many planners are generalists who often call on specialists to solve certain specific problems. Whatever the specialty brought to bear on an issue, a holistic...

Subjectivity, Objectivity, and the Edge of Chaos

Pruim, Peter E.

Pages: 141 –155

[The concept of complexity and edge of chaos can illuminate a survey of work over the last half-century in the philosophy of mind to develop a theory of the nature of conscious mental states. In that dialectic one finds chaos that must be brought into order, order becoming restrictive, and...
LitStream

Seeking Chaotic Order

Ambrose, Don

Pages: 159 –183

[The vibrant, interdisciplinary science of complexity is illuminating the tendency of complex adaptive systems to oscillate along a continuum from chaos to order, occasionally finding a complexity-generating space somewhere between the two extremes. Awareness of the continuum can enable educators...
