The Fifth International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching (ICTMT 5) will be held at the University of Klagenfurt; Aug 6-9, 2001.
 Within this conference a number of special groups and working groups  are organized.
 Working Group: System Dynamics / Systems Thinking (SD/ST)
Schedule and abstracts
 Chair: 
Günther Ossimitz
, University of Klagenfurt.  For any enquiries relating to this special group, please do not hesitate to contact the chair. 
If your contribution should fit to this special group, please also contact the chair:

	The Working Group "System Dynamics" / Systems Thinking" will be organized in close cooperation with the System Dynamics Austria Group (SDA). The timeslot on Tuesday afternoon (16:15 - 17:45) will be devoted to the theme System Dynamics / Systems Thinking; The Practitioners View. Three distinguished  experts from the SDA will report about practical applications of SD/ST in their field of experience. At the Wednesday time-slot members of the SDA will give a practiacal introduction into causal loop diagramming, a powerful and yet easy-to-learn systems diagramming technique. The two sessions on Thursday will be devoted to System Dynamics modelling at secondary schools. In the Thursday morning session (10:30-11:15) Dr. Franz Schloeglhofer will report about his practical experiences with students learning SD modeling and simulation. The afternoon session (16:15-17:00) some practical examples about teaching SD in classrooms will be discussed.
