Complex Systems in Education Symposium

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summaries

Summary Sentence: This symposium is designed as an interdisciplinary exchange of theories, models, and methods among researchers interested in modeling, implementing, and understanding reforms in K-12 and higher education settings.

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

K-12 and higher education is a complex, dynamic system affected by environment-specific factors in terms of both actors (students, teachers, administrators, school districts, community) and attributes of those actors (cognitive, conative, emotional/affective). Educational policy research has investigated some of these factors and their impacts on reform. Much less studied, but potentially extremely useful, is the application of concepts from other disciplines such as industrial and systems engineering. This symposium is designed as an interdisciplinary exchange of theories, models, and methods among researchers interested in modeling, implementing, and understanding reforms in K-12 and higher education settings. We will bring researchers from engineering disciplines who model complex systems together with education researchers, social scientists, and practitioners studying implementation of systemic reforms. The goal of this symposium is to explore opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration.
