Systems Oriented Environmental Education

Warfield Introduces the term "Collective Inquiry" to describe his view of how the process of environmental education should work, by use of shared knowledge combined with a computer-assisted group learning process called Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM).

Abstract: "In my part of the presentation, I shall discuss the complexity of instructional and learning arrangements for systems-oriented environmental education (SOEE), a methodological approach, for dealing with this complexity, a structural model for SOEE, and models of social learning for conducting SOEE."

The London conference date conflicted with his new job duties at University of Northern Iowa, consequently Warfield did not present the paper personally, but he had sent in this paper, earlier in the year before he came to Cedar Falls. The paper had been accepted for presentation, and was subsequently printed as part of the 1979 Proceedings, in R. Ericson (ed.), Improving the Human Condition: Quality and Stability in Social Systems (London, England: Society for General Systems Research, 1979), 797-799. It was reprinted four years later, in B. H. Banathy, (ed.), Systems Education: Perspective, Programs, Methods (Seaside, CA: Intersystems Publications, 1983), 61-63. World Catalog Numbers for the Proceedings volumes only: ACCESSION: 10526521 and ACCESSION: 6956574.   An office copy in a MICROSOFT WORD 6 DOCUMENT is on John's computer. It was typed by Bonnie Seitz, copied from his 1979 typewritten manuscript. (John Warfield has never proof-read Bonnie's digitized word version).
