This paper reports on an experimental study testing the relative effect of using simulation models on systems thinking in a college-level Introduction to Environmental Science class. The preliminary findings show mixed results. It is unclear whether this is a result on the systems simulations used in the interventions or the assessment techniques employed to study their effectiveness.
