LAUNCH OF THE INDIA-WIDE SYSTEMS THINKING IN SCHOOL PROGRAMME
At last year's panel meeting of System Dynamics Society India Chapter, Chapter President Professor Krishnayya along with other senior members of the Chapter, suggested that members of the community should, inter alia, focus on promoting systems thinking and system dynamics modeling at the school level across India. This would require not only creating educational tools and problem sets, but also doing it in various languages other than English, and on a variety of subjects. Hopefully this would aid the country as we move into a resource-and-energy-restrained era of life.
In an effort to formalize this effort the Systems Research Institute (SRI), where the India Chapter is housed, will launch the Systems Thinking in Indian Education Programme at the 2nd Annual Meeting (March 19-20, 2011) of the System Dynamics Society – India Chapter. The effort will focus on levering institutional support and building partnerships with schools that will initially allow for a state wide effort to promote systems literacy at the middle and high school level; the course content will be delivered created by professionals from the SRI and SDS India Chapter community members, with content that is not only locally relevant, but also topical and on different subjects. Training of local teachers would be a part of this. We would have to think through how many days such training would take.
