Chemical knowledge, reasoning, and practices are indispensable for addressing the interconnected challenges facing societies around the world. Given these realities, chemistry educators must take deliberate action to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to engage with these issues. A systems thinking approach to chemistry education provides a unifying framework for learning chemistry as a dynamic and powerful way of knowing, thinking, and acting in support of a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future.
This site presents an educational framework designed to help instructors incorporate systems thinking into their chemistry instruction. Explore the framework using the navigation bar or by clicking on its three major components—Plan, Implement, and Assess—to learn about the key ideas, strategies, and examples associated with each stage of the instructional process.
Use the navigation bar or click on the image to the right to explore examples of instructional units that support students in developing and applying systems thinking as they use chemistry to understand and address complex issues of societal and environmental relevance.
