%0 Journal Article %T The Systemic Approach to Teaching and Learning [SATL]: Operational Steps for Building Teaching Units %A AFM Fahmy %A JJ Lagowski %J African Journal of Chemical Education %D 2011 %I %X Systemic diagrams are the key to creating units of study for the method described as the Systemic Approach to Teaching and Learning (SATL). Here we present a detailed description of the generation of systemics. The general approach is first discussed to establish the basic ideas of SATL. The general method is then specifically applied to a portion of the aromatic chemistry of benzene and its simpler derivatives. Finally, examples of SATL-oriented questions for student assessment are presented. %U http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajce/article/view/82526
