Emergence - partial application?

I am curious about the discussion this afternoon about using emergence as one approach within a whole variety of approaches to teaching.  Is a teacher that attempts to use teach a lesson through emergence one day a week, one class out of five, really engaging in emergent pedagogy?  Or does emergent pedagogy need to occur continuously over long periods of time in order to develop the deep questions and understandings that emergent pedagogy seems to suggest?  My instinct is that the only occasional use of emergent structured lessons and experiences does not really mesh with the theory of emergent pedagogy as I understand it. What do other people think?
