Complex systems, which are pervasive across various scientific disciplines and scales, ranging from the microscopic realm of individual cells and molecules to the vast macrocosm of ecosystems, present significant challenges to comprehension. However, gaining a comprehensive understanding of these natural systems is essential for comprehending their nature and functioning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"systems thinking\" has become synonymous with developing a coherent grasp of complex biological processes and phenomena. For researchers and educators alike, understanding how students develop systems thinking is a crucial prerequisite to creating and sustaining pedagogical scaffolding that facilitates students' ability to fully comprehend the intricacies of these systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo this end, this book offers valuable insights from the current research community on how to support learners' systems thinking in secondary and higher education. Each chapter in the book explores diverse theoretical and methodological frameworks related to complexity in biology education, encompassing a range of biological topics such as genetics, photosynthesis, the carbon cycle, ecology, and climate change. Special emphasis is placed on examining design elements of computer-based learning environments to enhance understanding of complexity in biology education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy synthesizing this extensive body of knowledge, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers seeking to enhance the teaching and learning of complex systems in biology education. It provides a roadmap for developing effective strategies and interventions that promote deep understanding and critical thinking among students, enabling them to navigate the complexities of the natural world with a broader perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030981433\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102984990970,"sku":"9783030981433","price":102.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662169195787_book.jpg?v=1662415254","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/fostering-understanding-of-complex-systems-in-biology-education-pedagogies-guidelines-and-insights-from-classroombased-research-9783030981433","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
