| 12-Day Training Materials |
|
|
Author(s):
CC-SUSTAIN |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
From CC-SUSTAIN. Representing 6 years of development by the CC-STADUS/CC-SUSTAIN Project, these materials are based on the 12-day training that the NSF funded project has provided for teacher workshops each summer. They allow experienced modelers to conduct a similar program without the need to develop their own materials. The materials can be use exactly as they stand. |

| A Structure for Assessing Systems Thinking |
|
|
Author(s):
Richard Plate, & Martha Monroe |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
Proponents of systems thinking have a parallel set of challenges. While some may dream of a society proficient in computer modeling of complex systems, educators would be wise to identify more modest goals as well. For some students, these modest goals may be the extent of their systems thinking, while for future innovators and leaders they will be stepping stones to more sophisticated study of complexity. In either case, systems-oriented curriculum will stagnate until these intermediate goals are identified and explained. In this article we suggest a structure for assessing and documenting students’ progress through these intermediate goals. |

| Analyzing a Stock and Flow Model to Understand the Body’s Ability to Process Alcohol |
|
|
Author(s):
Ashley Joyce |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
Ms. Joyce's Anatomy and Physiology students at IACS in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, explore the effects of alcohol using a model and simulation developed at the Creative Learning Exchange, Thinking about Drinking. The students analyzed the model and then used it in a cumulative assessment to illustrate connections between the respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems.
The paper includes modifications of the handouts found on the CLE website as well as a rubric and other materials for teachers to use this simulation successfully in their classes. The curricular surround starts with students describing their understanding of a breathalyser and Blood Alcohol Content from their previous knowledge and finishes with a final poster to communicate students' learning. |

| Assessing the Effectiveness of Systems Thinking in the Classroom |
|
|
Author(s):
Megan Hopper, & Krystyna A. Stave |
Subject:
Research |
| |
This paper presents an analysis of systems thinking interventions in educational
settings. Although these interventions have been implemented in K-12
classrooms since the mid 1980s, there is still no clear definition of systems
thinking or identification of the best method to test the effectiveness of
interventions or methods for teaching systems thinking The goal of this paper is
to answer the question: how can we best assess the effectiveness of systems
thinking interventions in education? This question begs three sub questions: (1)
what is systems thinking, (2) what systems thinking interventions are being used
in education, and (3) how have the effect of interventions been measured? The
purpose of answering these questions was to propose methods for assessing
systems thinking interventions. The analysis of systems thinking interventions in
the classroom yielded an initial set of guidelines for measuring and raising a
person’s level of systems thinking. |

| Bringing System Dynamics to a School Near You: Suggestions for Introducing and Sustaining System Dynamics in K-12 Education. |
|
|
Author(s):
Debra Lyneis |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
Presented at the 2000 International System Dynamics Society Conference in Bergen, Norway, this paper explains how system dynamics is introduced and sustained in schools, outlining some of the many generous contributions that have made the early growth of K-12 system dynamics possible, and giving readers many resources and practical suggestions for how they can participate, too. Updated in 2013 by the Creative Learning Exchange. |

| Building Sustainable Interest in Modeling in the Classroom: The Implications of the S-Curve for Hooking New Practitioners in Schools |
|
|
Author(s):
Gordon Kubanek |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
This paper presents experiences of the past two years experimenting in classrooms using the principles of systems thinking. Five strategies that have been practiced in three countries are presented in detail, with examples of experiences in Canada, Australia and Singapore. The author believes that system dynamics needs to focus on more than computer modeling. As a community, we need to push for changes in the overall teaching process and in the learning strategies that it, by its very nature, implies |

| Can Education Reform Get in the Way of Reforming Education? A Simulator for Exploring Reform Strategies |
|
|
Author(s):
Gary B. Hirsch |
Subject:
Implementation |
| |
This paper presents a simulator that school systems can use to understand the dynamics of education reform and, at an aggregate level, examine different strategies for implementing reform. It is based on a System Dynamics simulation model that represents key causal relationships among elements of reform and a system's ongoing operations. The simulator is a framework for helping school systems identify unanticipated and potentially damaging consequences of reform efforts. It can also help them determine combinations of reforms that work well together and can be mutually supportive. In addition, the simulator can help school systems and their constituencies understand the value of System Dynamics and Systems Thinking by applying them to issues of critical importance. |
