in and outside of geographical sciences documents the broad application of systemic approaches, it also reveals that there is little empirically-based knowledge on this topic. One of the recent prominent studies in this area deals with the question if elementary
school students are competent in system thinking. The answer is clearly yes. Furthermore, it is evident that the competence of system thinking is composed of several different subcomponents, that there are indications of a domain-independency
of the competence of system thinking and that this competence is influenced by interest as well as preliminary knowledge. From a geographical education point of view one of the questions to be explored is which preliminary knowledge of geographical issues learners
