Abstract

In Restructuring Education Through Technology, I incorporated systems thinking to identify seven types of relationships in educational systems: teacher-student, student-content, student-context, teacher-content, teacher-context, content-context, and education system-environment relationships (Frick 1991). I now revisit these education system relations and discuss potential futures of education. The World Wide Web did not exist when I wrote the original treatise, nor did wireless smartphones and tablets, Google’s search engine, YouTube, Facebook, or Wikipedia. However, one important education system relationship should not change: the affective bonding between teachers and their students.

Note that an education system should not be assumed to be synonymous with a physical place, such as a particular school system—e.g., a district in a city or county consisting of school buildings containing classrooms. Components and their affect-relations can be in different physical locations—e.g., students could be at their different homes, teachers at their homes, and the content on YouTube (via the Internet); teachers and students could communicate through the Internet (e.g., by texting, Zoom, Facebook, etc.).
