Abstract

GONCALVES, Teresa N. R.. Educational Sciences and Cognitive Sciences.: A trans-disciplinary approach. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.1, pp.217-239. ISSN 0871-9187.

The development of scientific research in the field of Cognitive Sciences contributed to a newer and more complex perspective about the human subject, learning and cognition. The nature of the educational phenomenon and its fast transformations point out for the need to incorporate a theory of change allowing to deal with the multiple questions and problems in the field of education. Considering complexity theory as an emergent paradigm in the field of Natural Sciences as well as in Social Sciences, some arguments for the cooperation between Educational Sciences and Cognitive Sciences will be presented, clarifying its need and implications, as well as the possibilities that it will represent to educational research and action.

Keywords : Education; Cognition; Complexity; Transdisciplinarity.
