The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of complex systems research for educational psychologists. We outline a philosophically and theoretically sourced definition of complex systems research organized around complex, dynamic, and emergent ontological characteristics that is useful and appropriate for educational psychology. A complex systems approach is positioned as a means to align underexplored elements of existing theory with appropriate interaction dominant theoretical models, research methods, and equation-based analytic techniques. We conclude with a brief discussion of several foundational topics for complex systems research in educational psychology.
这项工作的目的是为教育心理学家提供复杂系统研究的概述。我们概述了一种基于哲学和理论的复杂系统研究定义,该定义围绕复杂、动态和涌现的本体特征组织,对教育心理学是有用且合适的。复杂系统方法被定位为一种手段,用于将现有理论中未充分探索的元素与适当的交互主导理论模型、研究方法和基于方程的分析技术相结合。我们最后简要讨论了教育心理学中复杂系统研究的几个基础主题。
