Creativity in awareness communication
Keywords:
Emergence of Awareness Through Communication, Visualization Thought Processes, Horizontal and Vertical Cooperative Work, Secondary AwarenessAbstract
When discovering and solving problems, it is common to verbally express the outcome of the process. Even when a problem in need of solving exists, it is rare to propose solutions in writing from the start; typically, people begin by searching for and collecting information and ideas. When possible, people may write down their thoughts and observations at the site of the problem or use cameras or other equipment to record them. Organizing and labeling these thoughts and observations as 'objects' and then arranging them appropriately is likely to facilitate the production of logical writing that assists in problem solving. In this study, we engaged groups in problem solving and cooperative fieldwork. This cooperative work led to the emergence of secondary awareness, an outcome we verified using several tests. Conducting fieldwork and organizing related observations in groups involved the use of multiple sensory organs, and the communication required during this process likely led to the emergence of secondary awareness.
