| System thinking may be defined in terms of when students design and analyse dynamic systems, a characteristic activity in both the media and in science today. Systems thinking comprises an understanding of the different parts of the system and the interactions that are created by using individual components of the system. Systems thinking encourage us to explore inter-relationships, different perspectives and boundaries of aims, objectives and scope. Systems thinking is inherently a collaborative process and cannot be approached by one actor. It can be used to solve complex and ill-defined problems and can be approached from a social or adaptive systems perspective since adaptive systems constantly are changing and therefore a more adaptive, social and systemic approach may be used to resolve problems. Systems thinking helps us see the connections between different parts of the system and analyse them collectively and constructively. |
