Description
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.
