- Explores the relevance of complexity theory – the web of
interrelated and contingent factors that
contribute to particular outcomes or phenomena – to the philosophy and theory of education, to the
curriculum, and to educational research more broadly
- Brings together new research by an international contributor
team to debate issues ranging from the
culture of curriculum, to the implications of work of key philosophers such as Foucault and John Dewey
for educational change
- Demonstrates how social scientists and social and education
policy makers are drawing on complexity
theory to answer questions on why education decision-makers are so resistant to change; how change in
education happens; and what it takes to make these changes sustainable
