DESCRIPTION:Dr. Troy Sadler will give a talk during the seminar on Modeling
  and systems thinking for socio-scientific issues teaching and learning. \n
 \nSadler is a professor of science education at the University of North Car
 olina at Chapel Hill School of Education and serves at the Thomas James Dis
 tinguished Professor of Experiential Learning. Sadler’s research focuses on
  how students negotiate complex socio-scientific issues and how these issue
 s may be used as contexts for science learning. He is interested in how iss
 ues-based learning experiences can support student learning of science and 
 development of practices essential for full participation in modern societi
 es. He has also explored ways in which innovative technologies including vi
 rtual environments and gaming can support student learning. Sadler’s work h
 as been funded by the National Science Foundation\, the Institute of Educat
 ion Sciences\, the US Department of Education\, the Howard Hughes Medical I
 nstitute as well as local foundations and state agencies. He has served in 
 elected and appointed leadership roles in the world’s leading science educa
 tion associations including NARST: A Worldwide Organization for Improving S
 cience Teaching and Learning Through Research and the National Science Teac
 hers Association. He is Co-Editor of the Journal of Research in Science Tea
 ching\, one of the world’s leading journals for science education research.
  Prior to his work at UNC\, Sadler was a science education faculty member a
 t the University of Florida and the University of Missouri and served as th
 e director of a STEM education research center.\n\nSocio-scientific Issues 
 (SSI) are societal challenges embedded in complex systems and connected to 
 science ideas and processes. Our team has been exploring how student engage
 ment in scientific modeling can support their learning of SSI-related scien
 ce and decision-making in response to complex issues. Constructing\, critiq
 uing\, and using system diagrams is one form of modeling that students can 
 use to engage with SSI. Our research explores student ideas about system mo
 deling\, how students represent complexity in these models\, and how these 
 tools can be leveraged as a culturally responsive strategy for SSI educatio
