The Effects of the Teaching and Learning Strategy for Systems Thinking Education in Elementary Students

The main purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the teaching and learning strategy for systems thinking education in elementary students. For this, we developed the teaching and learning material for the systems thinking education based on the book, namely "The tip of the iceberg," and applied to the control group(N=97) of the all students(N=201). The results were as follows. Firstly, the products of the control groups showed more cycle loops than non-control groups. Secondly, the prominent difference of the number of cycle loops was displayed by the 5th graders between control and non-control groups. Thirdly, in this study, applying the teaching and learning strategy for systems thinking education didn't increase the students' thinking ability in terms of quantity. Consequently, this study showed that improving systems thinking ability of higher elementary students is possible through the teleological education.
