Complexity Theory - A perspective on Education

Complexity Theory - A perspective on Education: "`Complexity refers to the condition of the universe which is
integrated and yet too rich and varied for us to understand
in simple common mechanistic or linear ways. We can
understand many parts of the universe in these ways but
the larger and more intricately related phenomena can only
be understood by principles and patterns - not in detail.
Complexity deals with the nature of emergence, innovation,
learning and adaptation’. (Santa F�Group 1996, cited in
Battram 1998 p.v)"
