Murphy, Michelle Pauley; Hung, Woei – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
One hundred years ago, Paul Weiss and Ludwig von Bertalanffy independently proposed that living organisms interact with their environment through systems. In the century that has followed, systems thinking and modeling have grown in tandem with discovery of the vast complexity of the universe at microscopic through astronomic levels. As our…

O'Regan, Connie; Brady, Bernadine; Connolly, Cornelia – Child Care in Practice, 2023
It is a truism to state that across the world the COVID-19 pandemic brought about and continues to cause disruption on a scale not seen before.

Paul M. Garton; Adam Grimm; Sehee Kim – New Directions for Higher Education, 2023
Traditional ecological models are promising for making sense of international student experiences, but the assumed monolithic nature of the structuring systems is inadequate for explaining development that occurs across multiple systems. We present and expand a model called the Spanning Systems Model that recognizes multiple ecologies. The model…

Kristen A. Renn; Brandon R. G. Smith – New Directions for Higher Education, 2023
In this chapter we provide an overview of campus ecology and ecological systems theory as applied to the study of higher education, most often to research on college students. We describe Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecological model and its application of it to the study of college students. We then discuss affordances and limitations of this…

Melissa Warr; Punya Mishra – Professional Development in Education, 2023
Scholars have called for considering professional learning (PL) through the lens of complexity. One lens for operating amidst complexity is design. Designers thrive in complexity because of the responsive nature of their work; a designer develops their practice in response to a particular situation, adapting as it changes. Thus, a design lens is…

Benjamin Heurich; Bence Lukács – Distance Education, 2023
In our theoretical and conceptual article, we propose that the application of Niklas Luhmann's sociological systems theory as a difference-theoretical approach to the opening of science unveils an openness paradox. We describe and discuss the general concept of open science as currently proposed by UNESCO and posit that only by accepting the…
