  1. Systems Theory By Chotika Kalyanamitra Jody Scanlan Katherine Jackson

  2. What is the systems theory? • The theory of the abstract organization of phenomena, independent of their substance, type, or spatial or temporal scale of existence. It investigates both the principles common to all complex entities, and the (usually mathematical) models which can be used to describe them. Systems theory relies on underlying principles which can be applied to any situation.

  3. Main Points • Look at systems in holistic ways • Analytical and Systems approach -Analytical -Systems • Analogous to Micro and Macro ID • Three mains concepts: input, output, and process

  4. Main People • Ludwing von Bertalanffy • He is the biologist who proposed the General Systems theory in the 1940's. • General Systems theory • General properties of all systems/fields • Complexity can be dealt with • Goes beyond superficial comparisons

  5. How It Relates to ID in General • ID focuses on the arrangement of and relationships between the parts, which connect them into a whole. ID also has three basic functions: input, process, and output, which are the main concepts of the System theory.

  6. Relationship to Dick & Carey • Dick and Carey is a systematic approach to Instructional Design. The Dick & Carey model breaks ID down into each element then approaches the system as a whole and considers the interactions of the elements. Systems theory considers underlying principles; Dick & Carey considers underlying goals and objectives of Instructional Design.

  10. Something NEW, Something DIFFERENT • Systems theory can be applied to any subject or situation. The same systematic approach that is applied in one situation, for example, world history, can also be applied to video tape production. Underlying principles in world history can be used to predict future interactions between countries. According to http://www.lionlmb.org/quad/theory.html, systems theory governed the development of video recording equipment.
