Answering your proposal, I wuold tell you what i am doing with Sd in Social Studies.
I work in Argentina, I teach Philosophy in the last year of the Middle school (they are 16/17 years old).
I introduce the SD in my classes with great effort, with the Vensim.Ple.
The pupils hasn't a sistematical vision form the subjects. So my challenge is they could be this vision.
I ask the pupils to do causal maps about the most important philosophers.
Every pupils has an author. Next, each pupil explains to their companions his/her author.
With this knowledgement, they do or complete the first CD with the authors' mutual influences.
I hope to be success in my proposal.
Regards from
Argentine and sorry about my horrible English.
