系统思维方法强调组成动态系统的组件的整体视图，包括它们的连接和相互依赖性以及它们与其他系统的相互作用。最近，国际社会发出了令人信服的呼吁，要求在化学教育中注入系统思维，不仅要更好地说明化学与其他学科的联系，还要解释和应对新出现的全球挑战。这样做为化学教育工作者提供了令人兴奋的机会，将创造性的新活动纳入他们的课程。然而，采用系统思维有效地在化学课堂上，我们认为，考虑学习者必须采取先例。关于化学学习者如何与系统思维互动，或者化学学习者有效地参与系统思维所需的知识和技能，我们知之甚少。在本文中，我们开始使用系统思维方法来解决学科关于学习的知识差距。我们的目标是从化学学习者的角度探索系统思维，使用当前与化学教育相关的学习框架（即，信息处理理论、有意义学习、社会文化理论和三维学习）。利用这种分析，我们强调了在化学教育中采用系统思维的机会和挑战，以鼓励使用这种方法进行进一步的教育研究和开发。
Systems thinking approaches underscore a holistic view of the components comprising a dynamic system, including their connections and interdependencies as well as their interactions with other systems. Compelling international calls have been made recently to infuse chemistry education with systems thinking so as to not only better illustrate chemistry’s connection to other disciplines, but also explain and address emerging global challenges. Doing so presents exciting opportunities for chemistry educators to incorporate creative new activities into their courses. However, to employ systems thinking effectively in the chemistry classroom, we argue that considering the learner must take precedent. Relatively little is known regarding how chemistry learners interact with systems thinking, or the knowledge and skills necessary for chemistry learners to productively engage in systems thinking. In this article, we begin to address the discipline’s knowledge gap about learning using a systems thinking approach. Our goal is to explore systems thinking from the perspective of the chemistry learner using current learning frameworks relevant to chemistry education (i.e., information processing theory, meaningful learning, sociocultural theory, and three-dimensional learning). Using this analysis, we highlight opportunities and challenges for employing systems thinking in chemistry education, to encourage further educational research and development using this approach.
