This will allow consistency between different educators teaching a single course and to leverage a model to its full potential.  To further improve teaching effectiveness of a physical model one should develop formal guided questions or activities that students can complete in teams. This would motivate students to engage with and examine the model more fully, which in turn would likely lead to greater learning gains in the topic areas the particular model is trying to address. It is also an approach to make small, detailed models accessible to all students (see earlier point).  There

challenge for educators is not only to overcome the barrier of traditional reductionist orlinear thinking in education and develop methods to teach systems thinking [10], but also toassess the effects of such curriculum changes on students’ ability to think in systems. This typeof assessment requires new forms of assessment methods and instruments to measure students’systems thinking abilities [11]. Recently, many have contributed to the discussion on assessingor measuring the ability of systems thinking [13]–[16]. These methods broadly fit into twotypes: instructor assessment of thinking outcomes and student self-evaluation of thinkingability. An instructor assessment of thinking requires students to complete predefined systemsthinking tasks
