average(GPA).Systems-Thinking Skills and Impacting FactorsPrior studies assessed an individual’s systems thinking using different systems thinkingcharacteristics and measurements within education domain. For example, Hopper and Stave [6]developed ways to assess the effectiveness of systems thinking interventions in the field ofeducation by defining systems thinking, determining what systems thinking interventions werebeing used in the current education models, and describing how the effects of interventions havebeen measured. Their definition uses the learning objectives in Bloom et al.’s [7] taxonomy tocreate their own proposed taxonomy as it pertains to systems thinking. Hopper and Stave’s [6]taxonomy consisted of different measures including

The 20-minute live playsession shown in Figure 5 is a subset of the one-hour round.The introduction addresses background information specific to the learning objectives andexplains the roles, rules, objectives, and constraints for the simulation activity. Participants splitinto teams and pick a unique team name to establish a common identity.The 10-20-minute design period focuses on the LEGO vehicle(s) to be assembled. Based on theapplication, teams either review the master/blueprint or create a new vehicle design usingsupport tools such as cost models or customer. In addition to

refers to how long a movement or sequence of movements continues.Kinesthetic response refers to a spontaneous reaction to motion. Repetition refers to the repeatingof something onstage. The viewpoint of space encompasses shape, gesture, architecture, spatialrelationship, and topography. Shape refers to the contour the body(ies) makes in space. Gesturerefers to a movement that engages part(s) of the body; gesture is a shape with a beginning, middle,and end. Architecture refers to the environment the actors are working in and how their awarenessof it impacts the way they move. The actors learn “to dance with the space, to be in dialogue witha room, to let movement evolve out of our surroundings” [10]. Topography refers to the floorpattern and the
