The new paradigm of complexity and education: an historical glance

Abstract

Education as a process of formation for human beings insert in society it is determined by the requests of the social being. It is validated as much as it is coherent with the paradigms, categories or the epistemologycal bases of a specific scientific world vision or an image of it. Acording to that, we unfold that the crises or problems the current educational process has, is due to a specific tensional movement produced by social needs and by the obstacles of micro and macro power confrontations upholded by classical paradigms.
