Abstract

Systems thinking is a fundamental cognitive skill that is essential for problem-solving contexts. Notably, there is a lack of instruction in systems concepts from the elementary to the tertiary levels. This study aimed to develop and to implement a course to guide undergraduate students to enhance their understanding of systems thinking. The authors designed a virtual reality game as an instructional tool. The course integrated didactic instruction, discovery learning, and digital game-based learning approaches. The results indicated that most participants demonstrated improved comprehension of system concepts. Virtual reality games provide learners with an engaging and interactive learning experience for system concepts.
