What is Systems Thinking? 

 

“Systems Thinking is a way of understanding reality that emphasizes the relationships among a system’s parts, rather than the parts themselves. It helps us see both the forces that shape change and our role in creating them. Based on a field of study known as system dynamics, systems thinking has a practical value that rests on a solid theoretical foundation.” 

 

Why is Systems Thinking important in developing critical thinking skills? 

 

Because it provides a set of analytical tools, concepts, and habits that enable us to deal with complex situations by looking at the potential consequences of our actions and by this, make better decisions.

 

1. Develop skills and knowledge in the use of  Systems Thinking concepts, habits and tools
    
2. Experience, practice, and apply these tools to practical situations, as a teacher or a learner 
    
3. Create and share a plan of application relevant to their work 
    
4. Increase their awareness and knowledge of  Sustainability concepts
