Over Two-Hundred Annotated References on Systems Thinking

Some blog followers may be interested a compilation [Hake (2009)] of the above title. The abstract reads:

ABSTRACT: This 1.7 MB compilation of over 200 annotated references andover 300 hot-linked URL’s provides a window into the vast literature on “Systems Thinking.”

Systems Thinking is characterized by the consideration of natural, scientific, engineered, human, or conceptual entities as systems in which the component parts interact with one another and with other systems so as to produce emergent properties which cannot be understood through analysis of the single parts of the system.

Examples are provided by twelve quotes of systems thinkers.

References are given in alphabetical order with superscripts that indicate their origin in the following categories: Ecology, Economics, Education, Engineering, Evaluation, General, and Physics.

The ABSTRACT reads: "In posts on PhysLrnR and the Learning Sciences and Education Technology Group, Doug Holton listed 12 examples of people who maintain blogs of possible interest to education researchers. In this post I list expanded versions of the Holton-referenced blogs and give information on 20 others to yield a list of 32 education blogs that provide a window into the vast educational blogosphere. 

The abstract only was transmitted to about 30 academic discussion lists with a potential readership of about 17,000. Doubtless a huge spike will occur in the number of people who follow the 32 blogs referenced in my post  ; - )   .
