The foregoing gives us definitions of significant terms used in analyzing a

system.

Let’s check our understanding by perfoeming the following activities.

I. In the foregoing definitions, which of the following attributes
could be deduced from the term System. Check the blank that
corresponds to your answer.

________1. A system is made up of people.

________2. A group or a set of components.
________3. Is composed of leaders and members.
________4. There is a goal to fulfill.
________5. Requires input, process and output.

II. Give one example of each of the following:

1. Subsytems Organizational structure- classroom, school

levels, hierarcy and departments.

2. Suprasytem Ministry of Education, Science and

Technology

3. System bounderies The educational system may be

defined by levels, that is, elementary , secondary and teritiary
level.

4. Internal environment The emloyee, staff and other

people who work in the organization based from their
attitudes towards work. The mission , vision and goals of the
institutions

5. Feed back The success of the students are the one which
reflect the image of the school.

6. Input Human, materials, finacial or information resources

used to produced product or a service. For an instance the
materials needed in the school.

7. Process In the school theinteraction between the

students and teachers is part of the transformationor learning
process by which the students become educated citizen.

8. Output The teacher taught the students to used socila

media in influencing others and they able to make their own
socila media accounts and post that is the output of the
students

LEARNING ACTIVITIES

A. Reasoned Reaction. Write A if you Agree with the statement. If you

Disagree, write D and support your stand.

A
__________1. A system is more than the totality of different acts.
A
__________2. Input is actually the load of the system which consists

of all the things that entered into it.

A
__________3. Anyone who intends to analyze a system should

include all the elements that impinge upon the system.

D
__________4. The school operates as a system of the community.

It should be the school operates the community

as a sytem because the school is the heart of the

community.
A
__________5. There is always stress and tension in a system.
D
__________6. The cycle of the input-output design can be reversed

depending upon the purpose of the researcher.

Input deals with personnel, financing, theory,

knowledge while the outputs include student
achievement, growth, dropout, attitude toward school,
teacher performance, employee job satisfaction,
employee-management relations and school-
community relations, among others.
A
__________7. The individual in a social system while interacting

with other individuals operates as a completely unique individual.

D
__________8. Teaching methologies are inputs rather than process.

Teaching methodologies are process rather than inputs

because the process includes the internal operation of the

organization or school and its system of operational

management. The administrator has to utilize his technical

competence in communication, decision making, curriculum

development, motivation, developing organizational culture

and his leadership styles in transforming the inputs into

outputs
D
__________9. Negative feedback from the external environment

should be ignored.

Negative feedbacks should be analyze to detemine

weather it is true or not. If it is true we can improve that

negative feedback.
A
________10. Results of research study are example of outputs.

B.Using the input-output ( IPO) research paradigm, formulate a research problem

that requires assessment of existing conditions. Indicate the inputs, Process (s)

and Outputs. Explain your paradigm and justify the inclusion on each factor or

variable as input, process, or output.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES

1. Which of the subsystem in the school system should be given

priority in making a annual action plan?
Activity units subsystems consist of learning units, teaching units,
units, facilitating units, and interpersonal units. These are the
important factors that the school should have because they are the
factors that may affect the system of the school and they are the key
for the success of the institution.

2. How does the relationship between school policy and teacher

behavior, differ from the relationship between the subsystem in
the school and subsystem in the society?
Policies help define rules, regulations, procedures and
protocols for schools. All of these are necessary to help a school
run smoothly and safely and ensure that students receive a
quality education. Schools have policies for several reasons.
Policies establish rules and regulations to guide acceptable
behavior and ensure that the school environment is safe for
students, teachers and school staff. School policies also help
create a productive learning environment.
Teacher behaviour is one of the key determinants in
forming the student’s motivation and learning. Teacher
behaviour in respect of interpersonal communication may be
viewed as student’s autonomy supportive or controlling.
An educational institution consists of many subsystems which
interact with each other and create a pattern of behaviour. Any
change in one of the subsystems creates changes in other
subsystems. Main subsystems of an a institution are as follows:It
represents the form organizational structure and the
interrelationships of tasks. It includes tasks, activities, skills,
techniques, strategies, methodologies and knowledge required to
perform jobs. It regulates the work behaviour of teachers in an

institution. It is necessary for ensuring effective and efficient

teaching-learning and student-evaluation.
The social system, according to Charles P. Loomis, is
composed of the patterned interaction of visual actors whose’
relation to each other are mutually oriented through the definition
of the mediation of pattern of structured and shared symbols and
expectations.
All social organisations are, therefore, ‘social system’, since
they consist of interacting individuals. In the social system each
of the interacting individual has function or role to perform in
terms of the status he occupies in the system. For example, in
the family parents, sons and daughters are required to perform
certain socially recognised functions or roles.
Similarly, social organisations function within the frame work
of a normative pattern. Thus, a social system presupposes a
social structure consisting of different parts which are interrelated
in such a way as to perform its functions.
Social system is a comprehensive arrangement. It takes its
orbit all the diverse subsystems such as the economic, political,
religious and others and their interrelation too. Social systems
are bound by environment such as geography. And this
differentiates one system from another.

3. Explain why in System analysis, all the components of the school

system must be analyzed?
It is a process of collecting and interpreting facts, identifying
the problems, and decomposition of a system into its
components.
System analysis is conducted for the purpose of studying a
system or its parts in order to identify its objectives. It is a
problem solving technique that improves the system and

ensures that all the components of the system work efficiently to

accomplish their purpose.
