| Building the Big Picture: Developing Systems Thinking Tools with Young Children |
|
|
Author(s):
Barbara Cassanova, Caryl Crowell, Molly Reed, & Ginger Snider |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this session, four educators from Borton Primary Magnet School will share how students’ use of Systems Thinking tools develops across the curriculum as they move from kindergarten to third grade, highlighting how each year of our students’ experiences with Systems Thinking tools leads to deeper understanding of concepts and increasing sophistication in different areas of the curriculum. We’ll also share how our collaborative inquiry into Systems Thinking nurtures our individual and collective professional growth.

| Bumbles and Woofs: A Population Model |
|
|
Author(s):
Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Cross-Curricular |
| |
This high school math lesson progresses from a simple population model to
a predator-prey model with an understandable and explicit sequence. The
teacher used Vensim simulation software for the class, but the lesson could
easily be modified for other simulation software such as Stella and Splash! |

| 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. |

| Can people learn behaviours of stock and flow using their ability to calculate running total? An experimental study |
|
|
Author(s):

Subject:
Research |
| |
Tony Phuah's Masters Thesis at the University of Bergen.
Stock and flow is the basis of dynamics. Understanding of stock and flow is crucial in comprehending and managing problems such as global warming and national debt. Yet previous experimental studies discovered that people performed poorly in simple stock-flow tasks. However, many do have notion of accumulation in terms of calculating running total. Here a pre-test-treatment-post-test experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that people's understanding of stock and flow behaviours will improve after asking them to verify their expected behaviour using running total calculation and reflect if their expected behaviour was wrong. Comparisons with conventional approach to teach stock and flow dynamics and without teaching were also done, to my knowledge, the first time in controlled experiment. Results show that improvement is not significant; the hypothesis lacks support. On the other hand, conventional approach obtains significant improvement. Possible explanations of the results and their implications for education on dynamics, communication of complex dynamic problems and policy insights are discussed. |

| Children's Misconceptions as Barriers to Learning Stock-and-Flow Modeling |
|
|
Author(s):
Oren Zuckerman, & Mitchel Resnick |
Subject:
Research |
| |
Research has shown that people have difficulties understanding dynamic behavior. In an attempt to better understand the nature of these difficulties, we have developed a new modeling tool and
conducted an exploratory study with young children. The modeling tool, called System Blocks, is a set of communicating plastic boxes with embedded computation that facilitates hands-on modeling and simulation of stock & flow structures. In the study, 5th grade students were asked to perform several assignments with System Blocks, dealing with concepts such as rates, accumulation, net-flow, and positive feedback. Our initial findings suggest there are common patterns in the way children think about dynamic behavior, which might account for some of the difficulties children as well as adults have when faced with dynamic behavior in general and stock & flow models in particular. These patterns include a tendency to prefer: quantity over process (stock over flow), sequential processes over simultaneous processes, and inflow over outflow. |

| Chocolates, Vanillas, Strawberries, and Orwell: An Animal Farm Physical Simulation |
|
|
Author(s):
Nancy Campbell, & Ron Michalak |
Subject:
English |
| |
From Catalina Foothills School District. Following a physical simulation, students use Behavior over Time Graphs to study the "Animal Farm" and "chocolate" systems, and make oral and written connections between the novel and the simulation. After reading the novel, students relate it to the Success to the Successful archetype.
Complex Systems Connection: Cause within System. The success of the three groups is based largely on the "rules" of the game, not on the abilities or talents of the "players" The system structure generates the problem of some groups getting greater and greater success, while others become worse off over time. |

| CO2018_Teaching STEM with Systems Tools |
|
|
Author(s):
Chris DiCarlo, Ashley Young, Katharine Hinkle, & Rachel Henry |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this workshop, participants will see examples of systems tools used to teach STEM concepts. We will examine some of the reinforcing and balancing loops that regulate human body systems, discuss how stock-flow models can be used in Physics and Mathematics, and look at challenging problems like coastal erosion through the lens of a systems thinker. After a presentation of the tools, participants will have time to meet with the presenters and explore some of their own ideas for use in their classes. |

| Comments on Future of K-12 Education (D-4900-1) |
|
|
Author(s):
Jay Forrester |
Subject:
System Dynamics |
| |
There is a fundamentally different kind of pre-college education that the author, along with many others, has been pioneering for more than twenty years. The demonstration phase is now completed and it is time to launch a major implementation program to expand into a growing number of schools. This is a long-range and difficult undertaking but necessary if K-12 schools are to produce citizens who are prepared for the challenges of the future. |
