The Importance of Systems Science in Secondary Education for more Efficient Higher Education

Competent dealing with problems regularly encountered in modern world virtually requires knowledge of several disciplines, understanding of complexity structures and processes, and benefits significantly with the adoption of interdisciplinary perspective. Yet, accompanied classes in formal education are rather rare, in comparison with strictly disciplinary classes developing specific knowledge. In this paper we argue that the introduction of systems science related classes or activities for secondary schools would contribute significantly to development of interdisciplinary perspective among students in higher education, as well as to their better competences in solving diverse modern, regularly complex problems. As a case study, we present the Croatian annual state competition in systems thinking for secondary schools.
