Strapasson, Alexandre; Ferreira, Marcello; Cruz-Cano, Diego; Woods, Jeremy; do Nascimento Maia Soares, Marco Paulo; da Silva Filho, Olavo Leopoldino – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2022
The use of system dynamics as a learning tool for developing sustainable energy strategies and environmental education has advanced in recent years with the availability of new modelling software and webtools. Among the existing models, we highlight the online 2050 Calculators, which aim at simulating scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, energy…

Jensen, Eva – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2014
If students really understand the systems they study, they would be able to tell how changes in the system would affect a result. This demands that the students understand the mechanisms that drive its behaviour. The study investigates potential merits of learning how to explicitly model the causal structure of systems. The approach and…

Fabricatore, Carlo; Lopez, Ximena – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2012
This study explored the potential of digital games as learning environments to develop mindsets capable of dealing with complexity in the domain of sustainability. Building sustainable futures requires the ability to deal with the complex dynamics that characterize the world in which we live. As central elements in this system, we must develop the…
