Abstract
The Present Test has as objective consider the need from an
educational theory that is seen from the complexity paradigm for the formation
of critical and complex thinking. In order to achieve this, in starts, at first, with
a historical exploration of the epistemological problem, starting with the pre-
Socratics and ending with the twentieth first-century psycho-pedagogues.
Then, the emergence of critical theory is taken into account and how it
influenced the need to create critical thinking within the social and educational
system; and finally, the paradigm of complexity is taken into account since from
Edgar Morin, and how this perspective considers the formation of complex and
critical thinking in the contemporary educational process necessary.
Keywords: educational theory; thinking; epistemology.
