How should we study “systems” in education?: Challenges and future directions for education systems research

• In Event: STC - How should we study “systems” in education?: Challenges and future directions for education systems research

Short Description

Before we can effectively lead change in education, we must understand the “systems” we seek to change, and the “systems” affecting our change efforts. The members of this panel gather to discuss how we might best study “systems” in education, addressing questions like: what are meaningful systems and subsystems to study in education, right now, and how can we conceive of these systems clearly? What methods should we consider employing, to study these systems rigorously? What is the relationship between systems analysis research, systems change research, and systems change?
