Abstract
The following fictional account of a seminar on complexity science and its relevance for education makes use of several real events. The first is an actual seminar that took place during the spring of 2005, in the Department of Secondary Education at the University of Alberta. The second is the collective creation of the Complexity and Education Online Glossary (McMurtry et al., 2004; see http://www.complexityandeducation.ualberta.ca). Furthermore, many of the ideas presented in this article are based on the definitions originally developed for that glossary.
Résumé
Ce compte rendu fictif d’un séminaire sur la science de la complexité et sa pertinence en éducation se fonde sur plusieurs événements réels. Le premier est un séminaire qui a eu lieu au printemps 2005 dans le département d’enseignement secondaire de l’Université de l’Alberta. Le second est la création collective du Complexity and Education Online Glossary (McMurtry et coll., 2004; voir http://www.complexityandeducation.ualberta.ca). En outre, bon nombre des idées présentées dans cet article reposent sur les définitions élaborées à l’origine pour ce glossaire.
