This book synthesizes a wealth of international research on the
critical topic of ‘fostering understanding of complex systems in
biology education’. Complex systems are prevalent in many
scientific fields, and at all scales, from the micro scale of a
single cell or molecule to complex systems at the macro scale such
as ecosystems. Understanding the complexity of natural systems can
be extremely challenging, though crucial for an adequate
understanding of what they are and how they work. The term
“systems thinking” has become synonymous with developing a
coherent understanding of complex biological processes and
phenomena. For researchers and educators alike, understanding how
students’ systems thinking develops is an essential prerequisite
to develop and maintain pedagogical scaffolding that facilitates
students’ ability to fully understand the system’s complexity.
To that end, this book provides researchers and teachers with key
insights from the current research community on how to support
learners systems thinking in secondary and higher education. Each
chapter in the book elaborates on different theoretical and
methodological frameworks pertaining to complexity in biology
education and a variety of biological topics are included from
genetics, photosynthesis, and the carbon cycle to ecology and
climate change. Specific attention is paid to design elements of
computer-based learning environments to understand complexity in
biology education.
