Images of Schools and Patterns of Change.
Firestone, William A.
American Journal of Education, v88 n4 p459-87 Aug 1980
Contrasts the bureaucratic image of schools with four other possible images based on characteristics of social action in sects, legislatures, hospitals, and under anarchic conditions. Aims at developing a greater variety of ways to think about how schools can be organized. Various educational problems and means to resolve them are considered vis-a-vis these images. (Author/DB)
