Central Idea: Communities function as dynamic systems in which roles, resources, environment, power, and shared responsibility determine stability, fairness, and survival
Age Group: PYP 3 (8–9 years)
Duration: Full-Day Field Trip
Venue: Model Village @ Rangoli Gardens
Learning Style: Experiential • Inquiry-driven • Analytical • Evidence-based • Reflective
Includes: Pre-Tour, On-Tour and Post-Tour Activities
Village Systems Explorers transforms the traditional village into a live systems laboratory.
Students do not simply observe roles. They investigate:
• How systems stay stable
• Where systems are vulnerable
• Who carries responsibility
• How environment shapes decisions
• Whether power and responsibility are balanced
Learners gather primary evidence, track dependency chains, identify cause-and-effect patterns, test breakdown scenarios, and construct supported claims.
This program moves beyond cultural appreciation into structured systems reasoning.
Research: Primary observation, dependency mapping, evidence documentation
Thinking: Cause-and-effect reasoning, identifying vulnerability points, fairness analysis
Communication: Structured claims supported with field evidence
Social: Role-based collaboration, negotiation, structured dialogue
Self-Management: Independent inquiry tracking, accountability within group roles
Creative Thinking: Systems modelling, redesign thinking, reconstruction
