| Abstract: | El calidoscopi és una joguina que converteix fragments de vidre acolorit en patrons infinitament variats mitjançant l'ús de miralls. Hi ha quelcom satisfactori en els patrons –els necessitem per crear significat, i trobem bellesa en la seva simetria. No obstant, els sistemes complexos
desobeeixen les fórmules simples. Per exemple, és impossible descriure una cosa tan
prosaica com el comportament del fum mentre ascendeix fent servir les matemàtiques
clàssiques. Agafant en préstec idees de diferents disciplines, podem considerar l'alfabetització informacional com una invitació per als nostres estudiants per jugar amb la imprevisible varietat de l'experiència humana i descobrir patrons que els resultin plens de significat.
The kaleidoscope is a toy that turns chips of colored glass into endlessly varied patterns through the use of mirrors. There's something satisfying about patterns—we need them to create meaning, and we find beauty in their symmetry. Yet complex systems defy simple formulas. For example, it is impossible to describe something as mundane as the behavior of smoke as it rises using classical mathematics. Borrowing ideas from different disciplines, we can recast information literacy as an invitation to our students to play with the unpredictable variety of human experience and discover meaningful patterns for themselves. |
