Principles of Organizational and Social Systems

ABSTRACT

Abstract Application: SBSF 8330 Professional Practice and Organizational and Social Systems

This study of whole children and open systems analyzes qualities

of motivation and simplicity and how these factors affect the health

and welfare of the whole child. The author has created three Power

Point presentations that are capable of being re-designed to fit the

interests of each participant audience, with music and narration

suitable for individuals from a variety of cultural backgrounds.

Each of these Power Point Presentations has been prepared to discuss

a systems-based instructional model called Design by TEAMS. Based

on principles of dynamic and open systems, as analyzed in the

Breadth and Depth sections, capable of growth and change both within and

without, each of the three PowerPoints shows how to arrive at the most efficient

design for any Project, using the TEAMS layout. The

development and piloting of these demonstration workshops will also be

discussed. To evaluate the effectiveness of Design by TEAMS

Methodology, a plan for conducting action research

using anonymous feedback online will attempt to answer the question of

whether these workshops will increase self-esteem and critical thinking

skills in the general population, as well as establish long-term lines of communication.
