Some aspects of complex education

Abstract

In this article we explore the idea of complexity in education starting from Edgar Morin’s critique about the over simplification of a phenomenon. In order to do so, we develop two domains that show us a way to expand our comprehension of complexity beyond its didactical aspects. In one case we consider the political component of education, taking as an example the American movement of “critical pedagogy”. On the other hand we consider the importance of the affective aspect in teaching, through the paradigm of “confluent education”.
