Educational Systems Theory


SIGGS Structural Properties

These properties describe patterns of component relations or configurations. Most of these properties were drawn from di-graph theory, and some from set theory and general systems theory.

38. Educational system complete connectivity, CC
38.1. "Educational system complete connectivity is every two components directly channeled to each other with respect to affect relations." (p. 54)

39. Educational system strongness, SR
39.1. "Educational system strongness is not complete connectivity and every two components are channeled to each other with respect to affect relations." (p. 54)

40. Educational system unilateralness, U
40.1. "Educational system unilateralness is not either complete connectivity or strongness and every two components have a channel between them with respect to affect relations." (p. 55)

41. Educational system weakness, WE
41.1. "Educational system weakness is not either complete connectivity or strongness or unilateralness and every two components are connected with respect to affect relations." (p. 55)

42. Educational system disconnectivity, DC
42.1. "Educational system disconnectivity is not either complete connectivity or strongness or unilateralness or weakness, and some components are not connected with respect to affect relations." (p.55)

43. Educational system vulnerability, VN
43.1. "Educational system vulnerability is some connections when removed produce disconnectivity with respect to affect relations." (p. 56)

44. Educational system passive dependence, DP
44.1. "Educational system passive dependence is components which have channels to them." (p. 56)

45. Educational system active dependence, DA
45.1. "Educational system active dependence is components which have channels from them." (p. 57)

46. Educational system independence, I
46.1. "Educational system independence is components which do not have channels to them." ( p. 57)

47. Educational system segregation, SG
47.1. "Educational system segregation is (maintenance of) independence under system environmental change." (p. 57)

48. Educational system interdependence, ID
48.1. "Educational system interdependence is components which have channels to and from them." (p. 57)

49. Educational system wholeness, W
49.1. "Educational system wholeness is components which have channels to all other components." (p. 58)

50. Educational system integration, IG
50.1. "Educational system integration is (maintenance of) wholeness under system environmental change." (p. 58)

51. Educational system hierarchical order, HO
51.1. "Educational system hierarchical order is levels of subordinateness with components in each level with respect to affect relations." (p. 58)

52. Educational system flexibility, F
52.1. "Educational system flexibility is different subgroups of components through which there is a channel between two components with respect to affect relations." (p. 59)

53. Educational system homomorphism, HM
53.1. "Educational system homomorphism is components having the same connections as other components." (p. 60)

54. Educational system isomorphism, IM
54.1. "Educational system isomorphism is components having the same connections as other corresponding components." (p. 60)

55. Educational system automorphism, AM
55.1. "Educational system automorphism is components whose connections can be transformed so that the same connections hold." (p. 61)

56. Educational system compactness, CO
56.1. "Educational system compactness is average number of direct channels in a channel between components." (p. 62)

57. Educational system centrality, CE
57.1. "Educational system centrality is concentration of channels." (p. 62)

58. Educational system size, SZ
58.1. "Educational system size is number of components." (p. 62)

59. Educational system complexity, CX
59.1. "Educational system complexity is the number of connections." (p. 62)
