It can be used as a tool to assess and recognize the students’ status in terms of IST. The five factors which were identified in the research are the main dimendions of systemic thinking and this is consistent whih the different researches done in this field. Individual systemic thinking deals with the ability to understand non-linear relations. reciprocal relations of social-environmental, on time evaluations and decision making, and dynamic behavior in students.
