- Summary:
-
Demand articulators called for changing and strengthening programs in educational administration at the University of Kansas. As a result of activities over a 2-year period, the existing program was discarded and a new one adopted reflecting an interdisciplinary leadership and decisionmaking rationale conceptualized with a systemic framework. The application of an open systems model required information and decisions about a multiplicity of historical and projected program outputs. Following output identification, retreats were held to consider throughput strategies and input needs. Throughputs were delineated in terms of a typology of subsystem dynamics. Finally, necessary inputs were identified, internal and external constraints were considered, specific courses were developed and sequenced, and various evaluative feedback mechanisms were explored for continuous program monitoring and assessment. The authors discuss the conceptual aspects of the systems model and the translation of that model into an applied systems framework for program revision and implementation. The utility and limitations of the systems approach are presented and analyzed within a case study narrative depicting circumstances, activities, and events at the University of Kansas between 1970 and 1973.
