Educational research and theory building are increasingly being influenced by the sciences of complexity, systems theories, and non-linear mathematics. This talk will consider several models of learning from dynamical systems perspectives and will provide an introduction to classroom-based technological tools that have significant potential for research on and teaching about learning as a complex system. Although complex systems views of learning are very new, it will be argued that they have much in common with more established theories of learning and that they can be extended beyond traditional individualistic views of learning toward enabling educators to leverage the learning potential of groups. Qualitative and quantitative data relative to the proposed arguments will be presented. |
