complexity education

Complexity education explores how systems with many interconnected parts—like ecosystems, economies, or the brain—behave and adapt. Instead of focusing on simple cause-and-effect rules, it emphasizes patterns, relationships, and emergent behaviors that arise from interactions within the system. It encourages thinking in terms of uncertainty, feedback loops, and adaptability, helping students understand real-world problems that are dynamic and unpredictable. This approach promotes critical thinking, systems awareness, and collaboration, preparing learners to navigate and influence complex challenges effectively.
