Systems Thinking for Education and Research
 |
||
Education and research are most exciting when they move out of the lecture hall
and library and provide opportunity to create, experience, and see. STELLA® offers a practical way to dynamically visualize and communicate how complex systems
and ideas really work.
Whether they are first-time or experienced modelers, teachers, students, and researchers
use STELLA to explore and answer endless questions like:
- How does climate change influence an ecosystem over time?
- Would Hamlet’s fate have changed if he’d killed Claudius earlier?
- How do oil prices respond to shocks in supply and/or demand?
- What will happen when the ozone layer is gone?
- How do basic macroeconomic principles affect income and consumption?
The Gold Standard
Easy-to-use, STELLA models provide endless opportunities to explore by asking "what
if," and watching what happens, inspiring the exciting ah-ha moments of learning.
Thousands of educators and researchers have made STELLA the gold standard; using
it to study everything from economics to physics, literature to calculus, chemistry
to public policy. K-12, college, and research communities have all recognized
STELLA’s unique ability to stimulate learning.
| Shared Learning | |
| You know that your students have learned when they can, in turn, explain. STELLA
models allow you to communicate how a system works – what goes in, how the
system is impacted, what are the outcomes. STELLA supports diverse learning styles with a wide range of storytelling features. Diagrams, charts, and animation help visual learners discover relationships between variables in an equation. Verbal learners might surround visual models with words or attach documents to explain the impact of a new environmental policy. |
