| -- self-organization theory |
 Current self-organization theories assume that order
continuously arise as part of the system dynamics. Cultures and their constituents
are defined as nested self-organizing systems; thus illuminating the codeterminancy and
function of a culture for the individual and the individual for the culture. In an effort
to contextualize (ecologize) instruction, it is suggested that instruction involves establishing those
interactions that are likely to give rise to the appropriation of
specific practices that extend and expand the functioning of the
individual (and the culture) with respect to the cultural dynamics in which he/she is nested.
