Complexity and transdisciplinarity: invitations for collaboration and educational shared responsibility

Abstract

We are hostages of a social organization rooted in a long list of order devices, that generate a serious pedagogical and educational crisis. Given this context and the rational logic of knowledge, and considering the etymology of complexus (what is built together), this work indicates the transdisciplinarity as an opportunity to articulate the contradictory elements of this "built together" also in the pedagogical and formative aspect. Result of theoretical reflections, we suggest the complexity to recognize the emergence of different levels of reality, considering things from the world, life and/or human organizations, and as a possibility to expand the understanding of the real by opening and acceptance of the self-organizing presence in each human being. We conclude: this approach creates sensibility to the responsibility in its own transformation as well as in the transformation of the others and the world.
