Surveying Italian and International Baccalaureate Teachers to Compare Their Opinions on System Concept and Interdisciplinary Approaches in Chemistry Education

Abstract: This paper focuses on system concept use in teaching either chemical core concepts or interdisciplinary chemistry-related topics. The system concept is important in order to develop global competences, and chemistry teaching plays a key role in this context. A questionnaire has been administered to two different samples, Italian teachers and International Baccalaureate (IB) teachers, in order to investigate their opinions about the issues involved. The most significant differences and similarities emerging fro… Show more

“…The teachers were provided with a questionnaire to determine their opinions of systems thinking, whether they use it, and their perceptions of potential implementation. The answers concerning the ability of participants to describe and explain features of systems thinking and its use in teaching practice were broadly positive from participants in both groups, despite their differences in background (Celestino and Marchetti, 2020). This positive feedback from both sets of instructors shows promise for systems thinking implementation.…”

“…Research investigating the opinions of high school teachers with respect to implementing systems thinking into the curriculum has been carried out, comparing chemistry instructors in the Italian education system to those who taught in the International Baccalaureate (IB) organisation (Celestino and Marchetti, 2020).…”

“…In recent work, Celestino and Marchetti investigated the applicability of system concept knowledge to specific topics in the context of two groups: school teachers in Italy, and IB teachers from around the world. 21 The teachers were first asked about their use of concept maps and systems in the classroom, and teachers within the Italian curriculum were found to be much more likely to use these. The teachers were then asked whether, in their view, each of 11 chemical entities and transformations could be thought of as a system.…”

“…Results of this analysis are summarized in dendrograms. 21,24 A dendrogram can be conceptualized as a "Cluster Tree", whereby each leaf represents, in this context, a chemistry topic. As we traverse upward in the tree, topics that received similar ratings are grouped into branches, which are themselves fused at a higher level (closer to the top of the tree).…”
