Supporting Systems Learning 2.0: The Next Phase of Research in Complex Systems in Science Education

Sat, April 9, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 146 C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The importance of systems learning is prominently featured in the recently launched Next Generation Science Standards for K12 education in the U.S. Over the last 15 years more than 75 empirical studies of systems learning have appeared in journal articles that largely represent foundational and early stage exploratory research. In order to scale this work into classrooms, three gaps in the literature must be addressed which are more robust methodological designs that provide evidence of increased learning, more studies on instructional strategies, and more studies on supports that teachers need for effective instruction. This symposium highlights six research projects that address these gaps and collectively map important goals for the next phase in complex systems in science education research.
