The reported material covers the author’s last 10 years period in working as professor emeritus at the University of Latvia, when developing his elective study course “Systemology of Thinking” and publishing corresponding thematic research papers Broks (2014, 2016, 2020). The symposium report is supposed to be possibly a short, clear and exhaustive summary of the author’s corresponding lifelong life research project Human, Life, Universe. Keywords: general science education, systems theory, systemology of education

Selected mind maps are large-scale philosophy and psychology- based maps for general orientation within the complex situations when we are searching for definite solutions of concrete particular problems. All mind maps present visualization of definite thoughts’ arrangement within corresponding structures, what are well-known products of systemic organization of humans’ thinking. Keywords: general science education, philosophy of Science, systems theory.

Actual programmatic materials within systemic development of Physics Teacher Education as well as within General Physics Education at upper secondary school level are reported. Development of scientific thinking as overall goal is proposed. Educational research based pedagogical approach and science methodology studies centred content of educational physics at upper secondary school level is advocated. Key words: science education, teacher education, general physics education, upper secondary school education.

Today we meet not only local small quantitative changes – reforms, there are also some big changes – transformations are coming up. Started in the 16-th century, revolution of Science and Technologies has introduced today new global scale impact on our life - social sciences as well as humanities have started to play a much more important role within sustainable development of our life and education for tomorrow. Thinking as spiritual process – brainwork within human nervous system is managing humans’ particular life activities as well as human’s life as a whole. Thinking about thinking today is becoming start-up activity within the development of our life and education tomorrow. Using other words, conscious systems thinking today is becoming of very special value when solving our actual and complex life and education problems. It means that deeper or higher understanding and comprehension of...

Today we accept that thinking means processing of information what is important for management of human body life. Studying organization of human brainwork, people have discovered that all our thoughts and thinking activities are interconnected and form definite hierarchic structures. Humans reflect world as a set or network of diverse phenomena by building corresponding theories or models of observed phenomena. In other words, all phenomena in human world of thoughts are reflected as SYSTEMS, which are organizational units of Systems Thinking. Every system contains their interconnected parts and as a whole is a part of surrounding medium, made from other systems. Such hierarchic integral understanding and comprehension of human brainwork today has become the basic value of Systems Theory as theory of Systems Thinking.

Corresponding changes traditionally reflected by humans as evolution (reformational) or revolution (transformational) processes, that are realizing corresponding quantitative or qualitative steps within the development of people’s Life Activities. First 20 years of 21-st Century presented a real start of serious qualitative changes as a process of implementation up to date achievements of modern Science and Technologies. These are transformational changes not only within physical background of our traditional Life, but fast developing of corresponding changes also within our spiritual (or mental) Life (Broks, 2016). The central phenomenon within the mentioned processes above today is the development of overall computerization of physical as well as mental Life Activities of Humans. Global, regional, local explosion of information as an artefa...

Systems approach had been adopted and philosophical as well as psychological background was prepared to develop a modern structure and context of the subject when starting the upper secondary (senior high school) education in physics. Diverse macro, micro and mega world bodies and mediums in motion – observations, physical and mathematical modeling of motion for understanding of the scientific method and main achievements in physics research and engineering makes a general guideline of reported design and practical realization of subject.
