Sequencing

/ˈsikwənsɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The process of arranging elements, events, or procedures in a specific order or logical progression. In research and education, it refers to organizing content or activities in a meaningful temporal or logical sequence.

Etymology

From Latin 'sequentia' (following) from 'sequi' (to follow), plus the '-ing' suffix indicating ongoing action. The term expanded from music and mathematics into broader academic and procedural contexts in the 20th century.

Kelly Says

Sequencing is like being a master storyteller for information - the same facts can be boring or brilliant depending on the order you present them, because our brains are wired to find meaning in the flow of ideas, not just their individual content!
