Abstract
Abstract This work describes a novel and transformational educational curriculum and strategy, designed to calibrate human consciousness and cognition to the generativity of living complex phenomena. It is an approach that seeks to displace the outdated mechanistic paradigm within education in favour of the deep complexity paradigm. Towards this aim, a patterns‐based curriculum and educational strategy called Complexity Patterning was implemented in a research project with four cohorts of university students. The approach proved to be a sound basis for developing conscious metacognition of self and world as relational co‐generative complex phenomena. This understanding forms the foundation for the teaching and learning of complexity‐focused knowledge and skills, which are of vital importance to all young people as they engage with the increasingly complex challenges of the 21st century.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
