JET_V6_N3_A2 Ayse Kok Journal of Educational Technology 2230 - 7125 6 3 14 19 Systems Thinking, Dynamic Thinking, Web 2.0, Simulations, Computer Modeling The System Dynamics approach can be seen as a new way of understanding dynamical phenonema (natural, physical, biological, etc.) that occur in our daily lives taking into consideration not only single pairs of cause-effect variables, but the functioning of the system as a whole. This approach also provides the students with a new understanding in learning. This conceptual paper discusses how various online learning tools promote systems thinking and concludes that they not only bring the subject-related concepts to life, but also help especially the visual learners to see the reactions in easy schematics so that the related thought process is made simpler.
