Identifying, Rating, and Categorizing Elements of Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education
The chemistry education community has made considerable progress developing a foundation for chemistry educators to begin infusing a systems thinking approach into their course design. As researchers and practitioners seek to explore possibilities from systems thinking in chemistry education, an understanding of the range of strategies and motivations is needed. Herein, we report on a four-stage process for identifying and classifying elements of systems thinking in chemistry education. First: A systematic review of the literature on systems thinking in chemistry education was used to identify systems thinking elements in peer-reviewed published works. Second: We thematically clustered these elements. This resulted in three categories based on what system thinking techniques are being taught, how they are being taught, and why they are being taught. Third: We collected questionnaire responses from published scholars on systems thinking in chemistry education to assess how scholars rate the requirement of the elements. Fourth: We asked questionnaire participants to categorize the systems thinking elements using the framework that emerged from our thematic clustering. We found that 90% of participants agreed that 14 of the 34 elements are required for the effective implementation of a systems thinking approach in chemistry education. Notably, participants did not report a clear delineation between the “what”, “how”, and “why” for some elements. Together, the findings in this manuscript highlight areas of agreement and uncertainty for the implementation of systems thinking in chemistry education.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
