School Social System Overview

A social system is characterized by an independence of its parts, no interdependence.

All social systems are formal organizations.

According to Waller (1932), a social system comprises interacting personalities bound together in an organic relationship.

Individuals in social systems do not bring their individual needs with them.

Longress (2000) proposed that a social system is a model or organization that lacks creativity beyond its component parts.

Culture is the written part of the organization.

The teaching-learning process is not considered the core of schools as social systems.

Social systems are closed systems that do not interact with their environment.

Feedback in social systems does not involve monitoring behavior.

Classroom as a social system only involves psychological aspects and has no connection to ethos, norms, or values.
