components of the learning theory background.
GST originated in Viennese biological research and studies of the philosophy of
science.
Weiss’s, in the 1920s, while conducting his butterfly research, questioned whither
studying isolated parts of complex organism was a reasonable approach to learning
about the organism.
“A system is a set of objects together with relationship between objects and
between their attributes”. P11

Students will writ a three page analysis of GST.
After reviewing the previous links the students will create a
presentation demonstrating how the ADDIE ID model is part of
GST.
