CYCLIC IRRELEVANCY: A THEORETICAL CONSTRUCT FOR THE ANALYSIS OF CERTAIN FEEDBACK MALFUNCTIONS IN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS
- Date Issued:
- 1976
- Summary:
- As systems, schools receive inputs from their suprasystems and produce output which is returned to the suprasystems. Criteria for evaluating quality of output are best defined by the suprasystems which receive the output. When school systems produce output which meets suprasystem criteria, a state of concordance between the educational subsystem and its suprasystems is achieved. However, the out-put of an educational system may not meet the expectations of its suprasystems. Deductive analysis is the method used in this dissertation for establishing proof of cyclic irrelevancy from the assumptions, definitions and postulates widely accepted by scholars in the field of systems theory. Corollaries which logically follow are also formulated. Based upon the identification and description of cyclic irrelevancy and its corollaries, a theoretical prescriptive model for interruption of cyclic irrelevancy is described.

Summary: | As systems, schools receive inputs from their suprasystems and produce output which is returned to the suprasystems. Criteria for evaluating quality of output are best defined by the suprasystems which receive the output. When school systems produce output which meets suprasystem criteria, a state of concordance between the educational subsystem and its suprasystems is achieved. However, the out-put of an educational system may not meet the expectations of its suprasystems. Deductive analysis is the method used in this dissertation for establishing proof of cyclic irrelevancy from the assumptions, definitions and postulates widely accepted by scholars in the field of systems theory. Corollaries which logically follow are also formulated. Based upon the identification and description of cyclic irrelevancy and its corollaries, a theoretical prescriptive model for interruption of cyclic irrelevancy is described. | |
