  • The general principles of chaos, complexity, and emergence can be partly translated into social sciences.
  • importance of recognizing that no one individual is able to master a discipline
  • All knowledge is in the connections – how we’ve connected concepts and how we are connected to other people and sources of information. To know is to be connected.

  • our best opportunity to function in complex and chaotic environments is found in structures that adapt and respond to feedback. Change requires structures that also change. To this end, we turn to networks and ecologies as a model for:LearningKnowledge/epistemology (as both process and product)Managing complexity
  • Explaining emergence in its multiple forms in education: learner understanding, group formation, advancement of a discipline, etc.Designing educational systems that embody the society that learners will be expected to engage as members (ontology - learners becoming)
  • the irreducibility of learning to its individual parts, the recognition of dynamic interactions, the criticality of feedback in influencing adaptation, and openness are sufficient for our application to learning.
  • definition of complexity
  • “a set of diverse actors who dynamically interact with one another awash in a sea of feedbacks”
  • “What differentiates physical systems from social ones is that agents in social systems often alter their behaviour in response to anticipated outcomes”
  • An example I often use to distinguish complicated from complex: a puzzle and the weather
  • The autonomy of agents
  • Emergence
  • The interactions of multiple agents at a local level can create or contribute to significant system-level change
  • On a personal level, we could argue that our learning is the emergent phenomena of our own interactions with others and how we have engaged with and connected different concepts.
  • How do these concepts impact learning?
  • Ecologies and networks are reflective of chaos and complexity theories main tenets and provide a suitable replacement for the current classroom and hierarchical model of education.
