System Analysis and Design in Schools

Abstract

Technological and methodological advances applicable to education are arriving with increasing rapidity. The traditional school, populated by a mass of students subdivided into classes composed of 30-35 students, with a teacher presiding over each class and with a principal and a small staff to coordinate and administer the aggregate, has failed to demonstrate good ability to adjust readily to innovations. The purpose of this document is to describe the role which the Administrative and Support Systems group of SDC's Education Research and Development project may play in analyzing and designing systems which will adapt more readily to new technology and methodology. In this paper the assumption is made that instruction planning and design will be done by some other team such as the Instruction Systems group at SDC.
