Systems Inquiry

While the skills mismatch is well documented in EU labour market, it renders work-based learning a plausible part of the answer to this problem. Yet, a number of issues demand handling before work-based learning is effectively utilized. Systems inquiry, through systemic modelling, constitutes a proper framework to facilitate a holistic study of such complex social phenomena. From a systemic perception, the complexity of social systems has prevented a holistic study. The descriptive power of systemic modelling allows for such a study that relates labour-market to dual education via apprenticeship. Thus, the respective systems are studied as a whole; the challenges arising are specified and the limitations of the solution are clarified. The application of apprenticeship in heavily industrialized countries can yield results, but it may fail in countries like Greece with a very different socio-economic environment. Still, some recommendations can be formed for a variant of apprenticeship more attuned to such cases.

Systems Inquiry

Organizer's comments: Systems inquiry represents an array of research-based problem-solving approaches. European experience with the pesticide debate suggests several simple messages contained in this paper. As weed scientists, we have everything to gain by considering a global sphere of views, practices, logic, experience, and message. Read this paper for the essence, the message, the systems thinking, the research framework, and the interface between society and weed science. Read it because science and society must communicate.
