MARTINAZZO, Celso José. The non-linear dynamics of distance education: a look from the complexity. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.57, pp.478-493.  Epub 07-Feb-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.18.057.ao03.

In this text we aim to identify and analyze possible points of convergence between the process of Distance Education and the nonlinearity principle of the complexity theory. It seeks to understand Distance Education from a complex thinking perspective, especially having the nonlinearity principle as one of the categories of analysis. The principle of the complexity allows us to make very fertile considerations about the process of distance learning and education. The Distance Education courses are organized and taught based on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) which, although characterized by linear movements, allow for nonlinear complex actions and creations. The text was elaborated based on the descriptive and interpretive research methodology, with support in bibliographical and electronic references, having as source the authors that approach and analyze this theme.

Palabras clave : Complexity; Distance Education; Principle of non-linearity.
