Birgit Kopainsky als Keynote-Speakerin auf der 2. SimTech-Konferenz

26. März 2018 @ 16:00 - 17:30

Am 26.-28.03.2018 findet in Stuttgart die 2. Internationale Konferenz zu Simulationstechnologie statt. Es ist eine multidisziplinäre Konferenz, die die führenden Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des Felds zusammenbringt. Im Rahmen dieser Konferenz wird Birgit Kopainsky eine Keynote-Speech halten. Das Thema des Vortrags lautet: „On Using System Dynamics to Build Adaptive Capacity with Small-scale Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa“

Beschreibung des Vortrags:

My keynote lecture discusses a participatory system dynamics project in rural Zambia. I investigate how participatory system dynamics modelling can be adapted to groups at the community level with low formal educational background. I report on a series of interviews and workshops with small-scale farmers in Zambia where we simplified and adjusted the regular model building process and tracked the development of systems thinking competence. Our analyses show that participatory system dynamics is well adaptable to support an audience-specific learning-by-doing approach. The use of pictures, objects and water glasses in combination with the basic aspects of causal loop diagramming makes for a well-balanced toolbox. It provides incentives for engagement through familiar items from participants’ day-to-day practice while at the same time posing conceptual challenges that need to be resolved in the group. The newly acquired understanding is also relevant beyond systems thinking in that it seems to have triggered behavior change in a variety of ways.
