Applying System Theory of N.Luhmann to Pedagogy

本文首先试图阐明卢曼传播理论的特点。他的传播理论的最大特点是认为信息、话语和理解构成了传播。这种看待交往的新方式开启了教育科学的新分析。第二，卢曼断言，沟通作为一个要素构成了每一个社会系统。沟通是最终的要素。将这种观点应用于教育系统，我们可以用新的方式来分析它们。例如，我们可以从历史的角度分析教育科学与教育系统的分化，我们也可以把课堂上的课程作为一个自我生成的系统来分析，这是一种全新的方法。我们也可以从系统的观点来分析所谓的“阶级崩溃”。从卢曼的研究方法中，我们可以看到许多分析教育现象的新的可能性。

At first I tried to clarify the characteristic of Luhmann's communication theory. The most important characteristic of his communication theory is that information, utterance and understanding constitute communication. This new way of viewing communication opens a new analysis in educational science. Secondly Luhmann asserts that communication as an element constitutes every social system. Communication is the ultimate element. Applying this viewpoint to educational systems, we can analyze them in new ways. For example, we can analyze educational sciences in relation to the differentiation of the educational system historically.We can also analyze lessons in the classrooms as an autopoietic system, which is entirely a new approach. We can also analyze so-called 'breakdown of a class' from the systemic viewpoint. We could show many new possibilities to analyze educational phenomena from Lumann's approach.
