Abstract: The deterministic perspective, which views contemporary educational organizations as classical cause-and-effect systems that can be easily controlled and digitized, no longer provides the necessary support and solutions to these organizations and their problems. Instead, the validity of complexity and chaos theory has emerged, which considers educational organizations as dynamic and complex systems and acknowledges that although many things are unpredictable, there is a certain order and even seemingly insignificant factors can have significant consequences. Therefore, evaluating the management of change in educational organizations from the perspective of these theories will provide an advantage in exploring the nature of change and managing it successfully. In this paper, after discussing change and management as an inevitable phenomenon, the paradigm shift mentioned above was explained. Subsequently, chaos theory was examined, and the applications of the theory in the context of managing change in educational organizations were discussed.
