Abstract

Complexity theory provides a way of examining and making sense of complex natural and social systems. Complexity refers to the condition of the universe which is integrated and yet too rich and varied for us to understand in a simple mechanistic ways... complexity deals with emergence, innovation, learning and adaptation (Stacey et al 2000, Tosey 2002a.( Learning in the context of an HE award is rich and complex.  Tosey (2002b) has recently  applied systems thinking developed from complexity theory to teaching and learning situations in HE. These notes build on Paul Tosey’s work and use the conceptual framework developed by Ralph Stacey and colleagues to show how certain types of curricula might engage with learning in the unstable and unpredictable zone of complexity which lies somewhere between the world of rational planning and management and chaos.
