Abstract
Between 2015 and 2018, the Student Chapter of the System Dynamics (SD) Society sponsored the creation of nine peer mentoring groups (PMGs). PMGs are widely recognized as an important way to support learning and professional development, especially by novices (Ashwin, 2003; Terrion and Leonard, 2007; Huizing, 2012; Dhirasasna et al., 2021). This note reports on the experiences of members of these groups, leaders of the nine groups, and senior faculty membersi who volunteered to work with some of the groups. Many PMG members were PhD students, while others worked in academia but not as PhD students or in industry and consultancy.
期刊介绍:
The System Dynamics Review exists to communicate to a wide audience advances in the application of the perspectives and methods of system dynamics to societal, technical, managerial, and environmental problems. The Review publishes: advances in mathematical modelling and computer simulation of dynamic feedback systems; advances in methods of policy analysis based on information feedback and circular causality; generic structures (dynamic feedback systems that support particular widely applicable behavioural insights); system dynamics contributions to theory building in the social and natural sciences; policy studies and debate emphasizing the role of feedback and circular causality in problem behaviour.
