Summary/Abstract: Modern ideas in education, including for instance educational constructivism, creativity or activity,collide with daily practice which is still dominated by the objectification of students and expositoryteaching methods. Most teachers are reluctant to abandon those routine, structured andpredictable activities. Meanwhile, the activating and creative didactic process carries a high risk ofoccurring some unpredictable events, disturbances, or even a large dose of chaos in a classroom.However, the lack of order should not be regarded as an unwelcome phenomenon but rather asa necessary condition of the effective didactic process where students are treated subjectively. Themain reason of the fear against disturbances, characterized for many teachers, lies in the lack oftheir sense of subjectivity.
