International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics

2nd Edition, as published by Charles François 2004 Presented by the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science Vienna for public access.

About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

PROGRAMMED LEARNING 1)

← Back

A more embracing and open training method to teach appropriate knowledge to individuals, "aimed at the right level, sequential and logical and entirely compatible with the objectives and intentions of the individual and the organization" (After I.G. BLOOR, 1987, p.43).

BLOOR states that some years ago "self-pace material was developed to enhance flexibility and choice in the form of specially written texts that included self-assessment. Today's equivalent of this training technique is known as Open Learning which offer the flexibility of self-paced study with the additional support from an internal or external (e.g. a college) trainer" (Ibid).

From a systemic viewpoint, the crux of the matter is the quality of the content of the offered texts, which should be oriented to an integrated vision of what is to be learned, in order to broaden the understanding of the user.
