Abstract

The Systems Thinking in Education SIG is to “focus on applications of systems thinking principles to address various issues in education”. This year’s theme “Knowledge to Action: Achieving the Promise of Equal Educational Opportunity” aligns well with the purpose of our SIG. How do we contribute to the charge of moving knowledge to action through applications of systems thinking? In keeping with the Systems Thinking in Education SIG’s mission, the papers in this session contribute to our ongoing conversation about the use of systems thinking in research, evaluation, and applied practice in the areas of educational practice, policy, research, and professional preparation.
