Abstract

The chapter discusses the integration of systems thinking and connectedness in dental education at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education). It highlights challenges in integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and emphasizes values-based education. The A.D.A.B. Model (Analyze, Design and Deliver, Assess, Build in Belief) developed by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is introduced, which integrates intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual dimensions into education. Case studies demonstrate the successful application of the A.D.A.B. Model in promoting connected learning and systems thinking among dental students. The chapter concludes with recommendations for further validation of the model, integration of systems thinking across disciplines, enhancing connectedness in learning, and professional development for educators.
