Session goals By the end of this workshop, you will: be able to explain how researchers approach complex systems have a collection of resources and strategies for teaching systems thinking

Exploring systems

Draw a diagram illustrating how a bathtub works

An interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something. - Donella Meadows What is a system?

“Basic” systems thinking concepts Boundaries (open vs. closed systems) Multiple interacting parts/ spheres Perturbations can impact other parts of system Multiple causal factors can influence one outcome

“Trickier” systems thinking components Positive and negative feedback loops Exchange of matter or energy (flux) Reservoir Residence time Lag (delay) Tipping point/ limit (threshold)

“Advanced” systems thinking components Emergent properties Non-linear change Resilience Static vs. dynamic systems

Revisit your bathtub diagram Label/ draw: Boundaries (open vs. closed systems) Reinforcing and balancing feedback loops Exchange of matter or energy (flux) Reservoir What is the purpose of examining your system?

Teaching Systems Thinking On your own: Pick a system that is relevant to your teaching What is the purpose of including this system in my course? How does this system relate to my course material?

Systems Thinking Hierarchic Model Analysis Identification of components and process Synthesis Interactions Dynamic thinking Framework of relationships Problem solving Cyclic thinking Generalizations Temporal thinking Orion, N., & Libarkin, J. (2014). Earth System Science Education. In N. G. Lederman & S. K. Abell (Eds.), Handbook of Research on Science Education, Volume II (pp ). New York: Routledge.

Key considerations in planning Activities, assessments, projects, etc. Define learning goals related to both content and process (systems thinking) Consider how systems thinking is used in your (inter)disciplinary context Identify potential points of confusion and plan for how you will break them down Scaffold systems thinking concepts along with other concepts Incorporate use of systems language explicitly
