Abstract
A year prior to the NATO workshop described in this book, the first Asilomar Systems Conference was held (in 1989). One of the focuses of that conference was how to bring about systemic change of our current educational system. This paper describes the author’s view of the results of those discussions: a stakeholder approach to educational systems design. It describes 15 activities that appear to enhance the success of system design efforts, and it identifies what appear to be the most important principles or guidelines for successfully carrying out each activity.
This paper was published in the International Journal ofEducational Research and (with minor changes) is reprinted here with permission of the publisher, Pergamon Press.
