multidimensional systemic modeling, teaching, models, resilience

The paper describes capability of multidimensional systemic modeling technique for teaching of various theories. Multidimensional systemic modeling is a technique that seeks to use three-dimensional (four-dimensional) models to capture the structural, spatial, time and interactional relationships between contents (elements, informations, data) of a topic. The example of the interpretation of resilience theory through using this technique is demonstrated. The benefits can be seen in facilitating understanding and remembering the curriculum and in supporting the development of complex reasoning and understanding, thanks to a different perception of the problem (through the use of visual and spatial-visual images). There would be thus given more attention to the use of complex models in teaching not only in natural sciences but also in the human sciences, because as it turns out, sufficiently sophisticated and complex models are able to capture more complex and abstract concepts and theories as well.
