Complex systems are prevalent in many scientific fields, and at all scales, from the micro scale of a single cell or molecule to complex systems at the macro scale such as ecosystems. Understanding the complexity of natural systems can be extremely challenging, though crucial for an adequate understanding of what they are and how they work. The term ?systems thinking? has become synonymous with developing a coherent understanding of complex biological processes and phenomena. For researchers and educators alike, understanding how students? systems thinking develops is an essential prerequisite to develop and maintain pedagogical scaffolding that facilitates students? ability to fully understand the system?s complexity. To that end, this book provides researchers and teachers with key insights from the current research community onhow to support learners systems thinking in secondary and higher education. Each chapter in the book elaborates on different theoretical and methodological frameworks pertaining to complexity in biology education and a variety of biological topics are included from genetics, photosynthesis, and the carbon cycle to ecology and climate change. Specific attention is paid to design elements of computer-based learning environments to understand complexity in biology education. 410 0$aContributions from Biology Education Research,$x2662-2327 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducation$xResearch 606 $aTeaching 606 $aBiology$xSocial aspects 606 $aScience Education 606 $aResearch Methods in Education 606 $aPedagogy 606 $aSocietal Outreach of Biology 606 $aBiologia de sistemes$2thub 606 $aEnsenyament de les ciències naturals$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEducation$xResearch. 615 0$aTeaching. 615 0$aBiology$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aScience Education. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Education. 615 24$aPedagogy. 615 24$aSocietal Outreach of Biology. 615 7$aBiologia de sistemes 615 7$aEnsenyament de les ciències naturals 676 $a570.71 676 $a571.071 702 $aBen Zvi Assaraf$b Orit 702 $aKnippels$b Marie-Christine P.
