| Zusammenfassung |
| There is an increasing demand for an interdisciplinary approach in teaching
water management. Computer-supported games and role plays offer the
potential of creating an environment in which different disciplines come
together and in which students are challenged to develop integrated
understanding. Two examples are discussed. The River Basin Game is a
common-pool resource game in which participants experience the risk of
over-abstractions of water in a river basin and learn how this risk relates
to the complexity of the system, the conflict between individual and group
optimums and the difficulty in achieving good cooperation. The Globalization of
Water Role Play makes participants familiar with the global dimension of
water management by letting them experience how national governments can
integrate considerations of water scarcity and domestic water productivities
into decisions on international trade in commodities like food, cotton and
bio-energy. The two examples illustrate that play sessions inspire
participants to think about the functioning of systems as a whole and to
develop good cooperative courses of action, whereby both uncertainties about
the system and the presence of different values and perspectives among
participants play a role. |
