Systems are sets of interacting variables
. ecosystems, governments, stock markets, traffic in Xian,
EFL classrooms
SLD as dynamic process

Characteristics plex systems
Change over time
Consisting of many ponents
Dependent on initial conditions
Interconnected
Unpredictable (to a certain extent)
Dependent on resources
Constantly changing
Show stable and less stable stages

DST as branch of mathematics
Theoretical models to plex interactions, such as the movement of the moon under the influence of the sun, the earth: the ‘three bodies problem’
Aimed at development plex systems

The chaos factor
The inherent unpredictability plex systems: non-linearity and interaction of variables: chaos as possible e of development
Chaos is unpredictability, not lack of order
Development through iterations
Dynamic systems and SLA

Development over time: iterations of simple equations/procedures
Equations to describe change over time:
Logistic mapping iterations:
x (n+1) = r xn ( 1 - xn )
- Bifurcation plot
