Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education: Preparing Global Citizens for a Sustainable Future | Free Webinar | Thurs, Dec. 10 at 2PM ET
Join Us Next Week to Learn about Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education!
Chemistry is the central science. However, research indicates that current methods of chemistry teaching and learning do not always prepare students to understand and address the complex global challenges that they will encounter in their lives, such as climate change, energy for our future, food security, and planetary sustainability. During this free interactive broadcast, join Peter Mahaffy of The King's University in Canada and MaryKay Orgill of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as they introduce the essential characteristics of a systems thinking approach in chemistry education, walk us through an example, and discuss why this approach can better prepare students to be global citizens in support of a sustainable future.

Thursday, December 10, 2020 2-3pm ET
Speakers: MaryKay Orgill, University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Peter Mahaffy, The King's University, Edmonton 
Moderator: David Constable, ACS Green Chemistry Institute
What You Will Learn

  • What a systems thinking approach looks like in chemistry education: its essential characteristics and the benefits of its use 
  • How a systems thinking approach differs from and extends upon a context-based approach to chemistry teaching and learning 
  • How a systems thinking approach can prepare students to become global citizens capable of taking informed action to support planetary sustainability
