The Structural Looseness in Public Schools

Abstract

The public school has always committed itself to strengthen some kind of discipline structure within itself,and to further upgrade the social integrating function of public school;some countries even try to make the public school to be a part of a bigger functional entity.However,the public school,as an imagined functional entity,has been confronting the separation of and conflicts between institutional structure and technological structure since the very beginning.A few scholars believe that it is not proper to relate the structural looseness with any kind of value judgment.They,therefore,define broadly as the decentralization of power,the actual causal independence,the invisibility of intervening behaviors or rules,the delaying of response,and the substitution among elements.In this way,loose coupling is equated with loose 'controlling',leaving a hint for their defense of the coupling.Such a broad definition of can refer to and blur several kinds of loose coupling.To understand as the conflict,separation and autonomous collaboration among structures will help us to recognize the flaw of loose structure within public school organizations.
