PRINCIPLES OF COMPLEXITY THEORY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISTANCE LEARNING COURSES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

This article discusses the complexity in the field of implementing distance learning courses as a possibility of understanding and forms of organization. The research was oriented towards identifying scenarios of uncertainty and unpredictability in the implementation of a distance education course project, using complexity principles, based on Edgard Morin's theory. It seeks to demonstrate the challenges of the process, through the analysis of the experience of the distance education degree course in Pedagogy at UFBA. The study was carried out based on the descriptive-analytical methodology, and using the content analysis technique. It is concluded that the implementation of undergraduate courses in teacher education in distance education is a complex, unstable and unpredictable phenomenon, and that, therefore, must be treated under the aegis of this reality.
