DUE 31 July 2024
,1. Define the concept of the school as a system/organization as discussed in the
module. How does viewing a school in this way enhance our understanding of
functioning?
A school can be viewed as a system or organization comprised of interdependent and interrelated components
working together towards common educational goals. This perspective borrows from systems theory, which
emphasizes understanding an entity through the interactions and relationships among its parts.
Key Characteristics:

Interdependence: The various parts of the school (e.g., administration, teachers, students, parents) depend o
one another to function effectively.
●
Hierarchy: There is a structured order, with defined roles and responsibilities.
●
Goal-oriented: Schools aim to achieve specific educational outcomes such as student learning, development,
and achievement.
●
Dynamic Environment: Schools operate in a changing environment that affects their operations (e.g., policy
changes, societal trends).
●
Feedback Loops: Schools use feedback (e.g., assessments, evaluations) to improve processes and outcome
●
Enhancing Understanding:
Viewing a school as a system enhances our understanding in several ways:
●
Holistic View: It helps in seeing the school as a whole, where changes in one part affect the entire system.
●
Problem Solving: Identifies root causes of issues by examining interactions between components.
●
Efficiency: Promotes efficient use of resources by recognizing the interrelatedness of activities.
●
Improvement: Facilitates continuous improvement through feedback and adaptation
