This paper provides a "theoretical case study" of how perspectives from complexity research might provide insights into debates of theory in the learning sciences. The debate we examine concerns the "fault line" in the field related to the "knowledge-in-pieces" versus "coherent knowledge" about conceptual change (diSessa, 2006), which extends back to the seminal monograph in Cognition and Instruction in which diSessa (1993) articulated his theory of phenomenological primitives (p-prims) and of "knowledge-in-pieces."
