Description
Summary:Traditional education systems need to be replaced by critical educational systems. A critical education system can be developed using “system thinking” tools. We propose here an “engaged knowledge constellation” framework as a system thinking tool. Evidence is provided from literature on the subject and lessons learned while implementing system thinking during the last decade in the university where the author is affiliated. If such a tool is used as a guide during the “education pathway” of the individual, learning will become a source of enjoyment rather than pain. An appropriate “learning environment” will definitely enhance the educational process.
