Identifying Essential Epistemic Heuristics for Guiding Mechanistic Reasoning in Science Learning (2018, background): “Specifically relevant for this article is that complex systems thinking involves integrating across multiple (visible) levels (Hmelo-Silver & Azevedo, 2006; Jacobson & Wilensky, 2006) and considering multiple causal relationships (Grotzer & Basca, 2003) in order to explain a target phenomenon.”
