Session leads Nicola PapeWendy Morel SchrammDr. Shirin Betzler Systems thinking competence is an essential part of German geography education. More recently, it has been defined as a crucial competency in the context of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Against this backdrop, we will introduce you to a competency-based approach to develop systems thinking as a key aspect for global learning and sustainable development. The learning course was developed as a network activity between teaching practitioners from India, Mexico, South Africa and Germany. It provides a teaching path encompassing 10 steps and proposes a variety of methods for each learning step. Each step focuses on a specific aspect of the intended systems competence, such as perceiving daily use items and recognizing them as element(s) of more or less complex systems, the design of concept maps as the visualization of systems, or the identification of leverage points to change systems in the sense of sustainable development. To enable the learners to cope with the challenges of the single steps, each of these learning units is combined with suggestions for supporting learning methods. Finally, we will share first insights from implementing the learning course in a higher education context, and give an outlook on how to evaluate its effectiveness in the field.
