We can make no promises, but we’ll see what we can do to help.

Gordon Rowland, Director of the Center for Faculty Excellence, recently published a chapter in the Handbook of Systems Science on making inquiry more systemic. As the abstract states, “The quality and impact of educational inquiry, particularly in the field of educational design and technology, is said to be enhanced by it being systemic, or by the inquirer(s) taking a ‘systems approach.’ But what does that mean? One can employ systematic methods and/or take into consideration the broader systems in which questions arise. More deeply, ‘systemic’ implies the application of a range of systems concepts and principles. A set of such concepts that can be used to determine and enhance systemic qualities is identified. Examples of their application to popular methods such as instructional systems development, human performance technology, and design-based research are offered.”
