System Thinking Personal Mastery Learning Organisation Mental Models Team Learning Building Shared Vision
System Thinking The essence of system thinking lies in a shift of mind: • Seeing interrelationships rather than linear cause and effect chains • Seeing processes of change rather than snapshots
Personal Mastery Personal Mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively. (Senge, 1990)
Mental Models The discipline of mental models starts with turning the mirror inward; learning to unearth our internal pictures of the world, to bring them to the surface and hold them rigorously to scrutiny. (Senge, 1990)
Team Learning The discipline of team learning starts with ‘dialogue’, the capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and enter into a genuine ‘thinking together’. (Senge, 1990)
Building Shared Vision The practice of shared vision involves the skills of unearthing shared ‘pictures of the future’ that foster genuine commitment and enrolment rather than compliance. (Senge, 1990)
Critical Analysis APPLICABILITY ACCEPTANCE CONCERN RELEVANCE
Applicability • It has been applied by my previous lady principal back in 1995. • Schools generate their own vision and mission and make every body memorize and understand them.
Relevance and Acceptance • Relevant to be applied to Malaysian education system using top down approach. • Information gaps need to be sealed to allow it to be accepted and become a culture.
The True Scenario • Some school principals adopt only one or two of the disciplines and disregard the rest. • All schools and education offices have their vision, mission and client charter. Whether or not they comply to what they promised is a big question mark.
