Abstract

This article relates aspects of the theoretical and epistemological thought of Edgar Morin with the learning and scientific production of students enrolled in a Master of Educational Management. The objective of the work is to analyze the cognitive responsibilities of university professors and the formation of complex thinking, considered an essential element of education. Likewise, the article also uses the learning process undertaken by students enrolled in a master's degree in Educational Management to understand the application of Morin's complexity theory on cognitive development within graduate programs.
