“…In this loop there is no limiting process to restrain the state change. In our example based on recent research results (Warwick, 2009) all the links are positive indicating that increasing student engagement with learning will increase the demand for learning support materials (from all sources) and this will increase student performance and classroom experience which in turn encourages greater student engagement. Thus the loop is reinforcing.…”

System dynamics is a relatively young discipline having been in existence for just 50 years. With close links to systems theory it offers an holistic approach to modelling and focuses on the analysis of the feedback structures existing in complex systems that give rise to observed behaviour. This paper gives a description of some of the classic archetypal system structures that commonly occur in system dynamics models and interprets them within the context of modelling an academic library system. The paper summarises the process of modelling with system dynamics and gives examples of some behavioural insights that emerge from a simple interconnection of archetypes to form a qualitative model of part of a library system relating to loan and duplication policy.

“…There are several antecedents to perceived mathematics competence elaborated upon in the literature. One antecedent is subject mastery or success rate on previous math tests (Warwick, 2009). Related causes contain an appraisal of own success in relation to others, i.e.…”

“…Related causes contain an appraisal of own success in relation to others, i.e. a comparative approach, and comments made by important others regarding own math achievements (Warwick, 2009). Finally, psychological states such as stress or worry will also impact level of perceived competence (Warwick, 2009).…”

“…How can we, in our teaching of math, turn the underlying comparisons, or comments into something positive? (Warwick, 2009). Two very concrete suggestions to raise perceived level of competence found in the literature is to give feedback on particular aspects of the math tasks when deserved (not just a “well done”) and to acknowledge that boosting ones self-perceived math capabilities implies the successful completion of more difficult math tasks (Warwick, 2008).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to verify the existence of a gender unbalance regarding choice of quantitatively oriented masters’ programs at a business school. The aim, further, is to analyze variables potentially affecting this unbalance: interest in quantitative matters, perceived competence regarding quantitative subjects and measures of quantitative knowledge. Design/methodology/approach Empirical data was collected through a survey of 203 students at a Swedish business school. A measure of quantitative orientation was developed to assess the level of nine masters’ programs at the school. A regression analysis was used to identify the impact of gender and the other explanatory variables. Findings The results indicate that there is a gender unbalance: female students choose master programs perceived to be less quantitatively oriented. However, when studying gender together with level of interest, perceived competence and objective knowledge, the direct gender effect disappears. Instead, a strong positive effect of interest in quantitative matters emerges, as does an indirect effect of gender through the mediating variable level of interest. Practical implications The dual importance of level of interest influences the pedagogical suggestions made. Interpersonal contact between teacher and student and use of technology are suggested to raise the level of interest. To reduce the indirect effect of gender through interest, a suggestion is made to work with stereotype threats. Originality/value The paper addresses a topic of importance: the potential gender unbalance as regards qualitative orientation. It manages to nuance the picture of the importance of gender – and through the introduction of level of interest suggests a productive path forward.
