Abstract

This paper develops a framework to enhance the use of Soft Systems Methodology or SSM in Mode 2, with the aim of learning about Online Distance Learning or ODE in the country of Saudi Arabia. Mode 2 focuses on learning by mapping, internalising and reflecting on SSM principles, stages or techniques to make sense of situations as fluxes of events. This mode of use has been scarce in the literature in the last 20 years, partly because of the popularity of a more explicit Mode 1 of use which advocates explicit and participative application of SSM stages and methods. In the case under study, one of us (the researcher) engaged with ODE as an area of exploration; difficulties of access to the situation led her to shift to a Mode 2 of SSM use, and include Kolb’s experiential learning theory/model in her framework of ideas (F) to refine her initial learning framework. We discuss implications for SSM use to enhance learning of researchers in the future.

在模式 2 中加强使用软系统方法 (SSM) 来探索沙特阿拉伯的在线远程教育

摘要

本文开发了一个框架来增强模式 2 中软系统方法或 SSM 的使用,目的是了解沙特阿拉伯国家的在线远程学习或 ODE。模式 2 侧重于通过映射、内化和反思 SSM 原则、阶段或技术来学习,以将情况理解为事件的流动。在过去的 20 年中,这种使用模式在文献中很少见,部分原因是更明确的使用模式 1 的流行,它提倡明确和参与式地应用 SSM 阶段和方法。在所研究的案例中,我们中的一个人(研究人员)将 ODE 作为一个探索领域;接触情况的困难导致她转向使用 SSM 的模式 2,并将 Kolb 的体验式学习理论/模型纳入她的思想框架 (F),以完善她的初始学习框架。我们讨论了使用 SSM 来增强未来研究人员学习的意义。
