Reflections on interpretive structural modeling as technology of social learning

In this paper, an example of Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) involving citizen´s definition of factors contributing to crime is developed. Working from this example, several ideas on how ISM can be developed as a technology of social learning are explored. A suggested structure of social learning is proposed, namely dialogue, decision, action, and evaluation. This structure of social learning is an aid to the analyst in designing ISM exercises.
