This is a simple population model designed to illustrate some of the concepts of stock and flow diagrams and simulation modelling.

We replaced the variable "Life Expectancy" with a converter that allows us to indicate how life expectancy declines over time with an increasing population (due to scarcity of resources, urban crowding, disease, etc) assuming no further technological or medical advancements.

Focus on verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical intelligences robs us of the wealth untapped in the remaining six intelligences: interpersonal, intrapersonal, spacial, musical, naturalistic, and kinesthetic.

Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) proposes that cognition isn't unitary and that individuals cannot be described as having a single, quantifiable intelligence.  Published in 1983, his theory stipulated seven of which one more was added a year later.

Note: Intelligence is defined as the ability to solve problems, the ability to create problems to be solved, and the ability to create a product or a service that is of value to one's culture.

The Information Distribution Problem 
 
 Exploring a basis for distributing and organizing information is critical to the foundations of any system. It's a losing battle trying to combat information intake, without informative output. If we lived in a world with a technological system designed to do so, everyone's lives would be affected for the better. 

 By selectively designing the following technologies, a global system of education based on the validity of information is establishable.

Con la implementación del enfoque STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), se busca formar jóvenes más curiosos, críticos y propositivos, que busquen dar solución a problemas reales de su entorno, región o país. De igual forma se puede explorar la orientación vocacional de los estudiantes, exponiendolos a situaciones problemáticas y retos que a través de preguntas orientadoras y acceso a diversas herramientas tecnológicas, les permita llegar a una propuesta para dar solución al problema planteado.

Despite a mature field of inquiry, frustrated educational policy makers face a crisis characterized by little to no clear research-based guidance and significant budget limitations --  in the face of too often marginal or unexpectedly deleterious achievement impacts. As such, education performance has been acknowledged as a complex system and a general call in the literature for causal models has been sounded. This modeling effort represents a strident first step in the development of an evidence-based causal hypothesis: an hypothesis that captures the widely acknowledged complex interactions and multitude of cited influencing factors. This non-piecemeal, causal, reflection of extant knowledge engages a neuro-cognitive definition of students.  Through capture of complex dynamics, it enables comparison of different mixes of interventions to estimate net academic achievement impact for the lifetime of a single cohort of students. Results nominally capture counter-intuitive unintended consequences: consequences that too often render policy interventions effete. Results are indexed on Hattie Effect Sizes, but rely on research identified causal mechanisms for effect propagation. Note that the net causal interactions have been effectively captured in a very scoped and/or simplified format.  Relative magnitudes of impact have been  roughly adjusted to Hattie Ranking Standards (calibration): a non-causal evidence source. This is a demonstration model and seeks to exemplify content that would be engaged in a full or sufficient model development effort.  Budget & time constraints required significant simplifying assumptions. These assumptions mitigate both the completeness & accuracy of the outputs. Features serve to symbolize & illustrate the value and benefits of causal modeling as a performance tool.
