Problems of Reflection in the System of Education

translated by Rebecca A. Neuwirth


From the perspective of system theory this text traces the way in which the system of education reflects its own unity and its own position in modern society. Concerning the problems of reflection (autonomy of the system of education, instruction technology and the contradiction between education and selection) sociological analysis and the availability of analytical instruments for system reflection may make a contribution to increase the reflection level of communication in the system of education.
