The Beginning of System Dynamics (D-4165-1) |
|
Author(s):
Jay W. Forrester |
Subject:
System Dynamics |
|
Banquet Talk at the international meeting of the System Dynamics Society, Stuttgart, Germany, July 13, l989. Not a technical talk but a very personal recollection of how Jay Forrester came to develop the field of system dynamics. There are two threads that run through the history. First, everything he has ever done has converged to become system dynamics. Second, at many critical moments, when opportunity knocked, he was willing to walk through the open door to what was on the other side. He discusses this combination of past experience and the turning points that led from one stage to the next. |

Presented to the 2001 International System Dynamics Society Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. This paper describes the process of developing and implementing system dynamics lessons in the Carlisle, MA Public Schools. Using one lesson as an example, it will illustrate what the children do and what they learn. It also presents the problems of imbedding the lesson and the systems approach into the curriculum. |
