Moving towards a concept of education that connotes and defines the educational from the dynamics exhibited by the organization of learning in the classroom requires the use of the sciences of complexity. Assuming the theory of non-linear dynamical systems to understand the phenomena of learning interactions as a history of molecular, sensory and relational coherence is the great challenge of the cognitive sciences. The present study makes a theoretical-empirical review of studies in dynamic systems based on describing the organization of living beings, human life and classroom life. It is proposed that the classroom is a complex system of learning interactions where the semiotic mediation acts as linguistic homeostasis determining the future of the system. In particular, fuzzy set theory is proposed as a mathematical tool of non-linear dynamics to formalize the organization of learning in the classroom.Downloads
