Abstract
This chapter frames cinematic bricolage (CB) into a systemic view of the world. According to natural science, the living organism is viewed within a systemic structure and in continuous interactions with its environment. By means of the feedback loops, it continuously undergoes self-organisation congruent to the medium of its existence. This chapter develops a contextual infrastructure for a learning model that is based on a view of dynamic ripplework and frames CB within its configuration. The teaching and learning approach underpinned by the ripplework infrastructure is termed the Ripple pedagogy or the Ripple model. The heartbeat of the
Ripple pedagogy
is charged by the regular feedback loops taking place within self-reflective
collaborative circularities. The core focus of the
Ripple pedagogy
is to create learning conditions in which the learner assimilates new knowledge and by self-designing, equilibrates him/herself with the environment by capitalising on individual psychological needs and abilities and in collaboration with others.
