Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to develop a proposal for a critical analysis of social evolution and education from a complexity perspective. For this, it begins with the conceptualization of knowledge as an intrinsic value of individuals and organizations, so its development is conceiving the construction and understanding of what is known as the “Knowledge Society”. A theoretical approach is made to the evolutionary processes that affect society and how these give practices to the use of technology and innovation in this new social order that ultimately impacts education. Likewise, the development of a case study is carried out using agents to evaluate the problem-solving process in the Knowledge Society 5.0 in a higher education institution; this exemplifies the need to consider the study with a complexity approach, entropy elimination, and sustainability agenda. It should be noted that in this case, the agents (teacher and student) use BDI principles and adhere to the Sakellariou library (2008). Finally, it is observed that, under the parameters entered empirically, approximately 15 percent reaches the generation of knowledge, it should be considered that this result may vary if the institutions define policies and actions to take in order to increase motivation and disposition of students towards the process of knowledge creation
