How Systems Thinking Applies to Education

Abstract/Description

Seeds of public education's current failures are found in its past successes (transmitting culture and providing custodial care). Education is experiencing paradigm paralysis because of piecemeal reform approaches, failure to integrate solution ideas, and reductionist, boundary-limiting orientation. The old system is no longer adequate. Total Quality Management in education means adopting total systems approach and totally new system. (MLH)
