Epistemic Objects and Tools on the School Grounds: Addressing Plant Blindness and Knowledge Construction

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants mediate the supply of energy and matter for all animals, including human beings yet we are faced with “plant blindness” whereby we pay limited attention to and accord little value to plants. Plant blindness is evident in school curricula whereby students have limited opportunities to learn about plants.

Aspirations and Apprehensions: Reconciling Youths' Desires and Concerns for a Sustainable Future

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although youth are widely acknowledged as change agents, their full participation is often limited by immediate concerns. This study examines how young people's aspirations shape their engagement with sustainability amid economic, environmental, and social uncertainties. Drawing on a large‐scale international survey (n: 15,076) and multinomial

Education for Problems of Sustainable Development

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cynefin framework for decision‐making categorizes problem environments into simple (known knowns), complicated (known unknowns), complex (unknown unknowns), and chaotic (unknowables). Simple and complicated problem environments enable best and good solutions, but complex and chaotic problem environments require emergent and novel solutions.

From classroom experiments to computer code

open access: yes, 2004
A carefully designed experimental procedure may be an invaluable source for gathering empirical data and a key to grasping the heterogeneity of human behavior, which is of the utmost importance when modeling artificial agents. This paper proposes an alternative way of inferring models of behavior through a different use of data gathered in classroom ...

Teaching financial crises: A leverage experiment

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract College students often struggle to understand the prevalence of asset price bubbles and the difficulty of timing asset purchases and sales. Even economics students are consistently surprised when bubbles burst. These breaks can have real macroeconomic effects, particularly when the price surge is fueled by leverage.

The Bubble Game: A classroom experiment

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a simple classroom experiment on speculative bubbles: the Bubble Game. This game is useful to discuss about market efficiency and trading strategies in a financial economics course, and about behavioral aspects in a game theory course, at all levels.

Embracing the Complexity of Integrating Computational Thinking in Education Using Rich Pictures

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational thinking (CT) is a fundamental cognitive skill that provides a problem‐solving approach applicable across various domains. Integrating CT into K–12 education is crucial for developing the competencies that students need; however, its implementation presents significant challenges. While most research on CT has focused on specific

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...
