The Delft Method for System Dynamics (SD) is a proven method for learning basic SD. The method focuses on learning by doing: first you try to work through an exercise, and if you do not understand something, then you can look up the theory. The book contains exercises on topics such as causal loop diagrams, delays, and when SD is an appropriate methodology. It also contains modelling exercises that show students how to build low to medium complexity models, and how to use these models for policy analysis. The theory chapters cover all phases of the modelling cycle: problem articulation, conceptualisation, formulation, evaluation (including validation and scenario analysis), and policy analysis. This book is intended for students and teachers in large or small System Dynamics courses, and for motivated students that want to learn SD at their own pace.

La innovación pedagógica en el ámbito del derecho aborda la necesidad de modernizar los métodos de enseñanza para adaptarse a las demandas contemporáneas de la educación superior y del mercado laboral. El objetivo principal es transformar las prácticas educativas tradicionales en estrategias más dinámicas e interactivas que promuevan el aprendizaje activo y la participación estudiantil. La metodología utilizada incluye la integración de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), el aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP), y las simulaciones de juicios, que permiten a los estudiantes desarrollar habilidades prácticas esenciales. Los resultados muestran una mejora significativa en la motivación, el rendimiento académico y la adquisición de competencias críticas como el pensamiento analítico y la resolución de problemas. La discusión señala la importancia de un enfoque holístico que combine diferentes teorías del aprendizaje para maximizar el impacto educativo. La conclusión destaca que, aunque los avances son prometedores, es fundamental abordar desafíos como la resistencia al cambio y la equidad en el acceso a recursos educativos innovadores para asegurar una implementación efectiva y sostenida de estas estrategias pedagógicas.

When Europeans entered the Pacific they entered a place they thought they knew, and a place that was already peopled. European explorer accounts of Australia and the Pacific are fascinating in what they reveal about the people and places explorers encountered, and about European expectations of what they would find. This book is a guide to European exploration of Australia and the Pacific; to those accounts of contact and how to interpret them in the light of European preconceptions and misunderstanding; and to the actions taken by the people descended from the regions' original explorers.
