Looking for education applications of SD

Karen Takle Quinn · Post by **Karen Takle Quinn** » Sun Apr 20, 1997 10:45 am

Are there members of this listserv that are successfully applying systems
dynamics techniques and tools to educational messes, problems and change?
How can I best findout about your work and publications?
I am new to this list, so if this is an inproper question, forgive me.
Is there another list specifically focused on education (K-12)?
Thank you.

Karen,
Ive been working in this area.There will be a paper in the Review
next year that looks at some of the archetypes that rear their ugly heads
in different areas of university decision making. A paper has been written
for presentation at the APORS97 conference next week ( Fourth Conference
of the Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies ). Its
title is: When Strategic Plans are not enough: Challenges in University
Management. If these are the kinds of "messes" you or anyone else are
interested in Id be very happy to correspond.
Sincerely
Peter

Yes, Karen, I administer a small (350+ but growing) email discussion group
of people interested in using system dynamics and systems thinking
especially on the K-12 levels.

You can join the list by sending me an email request. Also, you will find
a lot of K-12 materials on our "sysdyn" web site (below) under the heading
"The Creative Learning Exchange."

Hope to hear from you!
Best, Nan

For Karen Quinn

I have built a few models of the resource allocation process in collegial
organizations addressed to the problem of sustainablity. The details of
these are available in published papers listed below, should these interest
you.

Countries. Higher Education Policy. 9(1). 1996.

Additionally, there is discussion of SD as a learning medium in the
following paper:
