A systems approach helps young people understand the complexity of the world around them and encourages them to think in terms of relationships, connectedness, and context.

SHIFTS IN PERCEPTION
-
Pensar de manera sitémica (brecha actual de la complejidad) requiere cambiar la manera mediante la cuál percibimos las cosas, las diferentes situaciones, el mundo. A su vez, dicho cambio en la manera de percibir las cosas que nos rodean, nos conducirá a enseñar de forms diferente, a organizar de manera distinta las instituciones y hasta la propia soociedad. Una mentalidad distinta, o mejor dicho una percepción distinta del mundo que te rodea. Dicha nueva percepción, procedente de un pensamiento sistémico, requiere diferentes desplazamientos, que a la postre nos conducirán a diferentes formas de enseñar, y a diferentes formas de organizar las instituciones y la sociedad.

Thinking systemically requires several shifts in perception

which lead in turn to different ways to teach, and to different ways to organize institutions and society
-
From parts to the whole
-
From objects to relationships
-
From objective knowledge to contextual knowledge
-
From quantity to quality
-
From structure to process
-
From contents to patterns
-
With any system, the whole is different from the sum of the individual parts
-
By shifting focus from the parts to the whole, we can better grasp the connections between the different elements.
-
within the context
-
the culture
-
Similarly, the nature and quality of what students learn is strongly affected by
-
the whole school
-
from single-subject curricula to integrated curricula.
-
the relationships between individual parts may be more important than the parts.
-
In systems
-
ecosystem
-
collection of species
-
interacting with each other
-
and their nonliving environment
-
the "objects" of study are networks of relationships
-
In the systems view
-
this perspective emphasizes relationship-based processes
-
from analytical thinking to contextual thinking
-
Shifting focus from the parts to the whole implies shifting
-
project-based learning
-
teachers to be
-
facilitators and fellow learners
-
alongside students, rather than experts dispensing knowledge.
-
Western science has often focused on things that can be measured and quantified.
-
It has sometimes been implied that
-
phenomena that can be measured and quantified are more important
-
and perhaps even that
-
what cannot be measured and quantified doesn't exist at all.
-
Some aspects of systems
-
however
-
cannot be measured.
-
the relationships
-
more comprehensive forms of assessment than standardized tests.
-
Living systems
-
develop and evolve
-
Understanding these systems requires
-
a shift in focus
-
from structure to processes
-
such as evolution, renewal, and change
-
how students solve a problem
-
ways in which they make decisions
-
Within systems
-
certain configurations of relationship appear again and again in patterns
-
such as cycles and feedback loops
-
Understanding how a pattern works in one natural or social system helps us to understand other systems that manifest the same pattern
-
For instance, understanding how flows of energy affect a natural ecosystem may illuminate how flows of information affect a social system.
-
One lesson that nature teaches is that everything in the world is connected to other things.
-
La naturaleza nos enseña que todo en el mundo está conectado a otras cosas. Un SISTEMA es un conjunto de elementos interrelacionados que constituyen un todo unificado. Cosas individuales, comop plantas, personas, escuelas, rios, o economías, son en si mismos sistemas y al mismo tiempo NO pueden ser completamente comprendidos separados de otros sistemas mas grandes en los que existen.

Systems thinking

Un planteamiento orientado a sistemas (Pensamiento sistémico) nos ayudará acomprender la complejidad del mundo que nos rodea y nos ayudará a pensar en términos de relaciones, conectividad y contexto (cultura de la interdependencia). Pensamiento sistémico como parte esencial de la sostenibilidad. La brecha de la complejidad- necesidad de una nueva forma de pensar acerca del mundo que nos rodea, desde la complejidad, desde una perspectiva de sistemas, pensar en términos de 'relaciones', 'conectividad', y 'contexto'.

Individual things
-
is a set of interrelated elements that make a unified whole
-
system
-
are themselves systems and at the same time cannot be fully understood apart from the larger systems in which they exist

for sustainability
