以有形把握无穷——分形理论对教育研究的思想启示

A Revelation From the Fractal Theory in Education Research: Apprehending the Infinitude by the Knowable Form

分形理论提供了一种从可变性与不变性的差别与统一中认识无穷变化的多样性世界的方法。从分形的角度认识教育领域的复杂性,在表面看来极为不同的事物之间,发现其在结构、功能和动力学特征方面的相似性,在更为深刻的层面上阐释了教育系统运作的动力机制。这一探索旨在突破实证论的局限,为教育研究提供新的认识论与方法论思路。

It is a method provided by the Fractal Theory to understand the diversification of the world by the unification of the changeability and immutability. Using it in the education research, we can find the comparability of the structure, function and dynamic character existing in the heterogeneous phenomena. Thus we can understand the education more deeply. The main purpose of this research is to get rid of the positivism and discover the basic rule of the complicated education world by new epistemology and methodology.
