Abstract | Describes chaos theory in light of its original principles derived from the physical sciences and in terms of scholarly attempts to apply those precepts to educational administration. When transposed to management models, the theory loses its mathematical and empirical underpinnings. Since researchers cannot verify whether the theory applies to social behavior on a macroscale, chaos theory is best employed as an imaginative construct. (48 references) (MLH) |
