The Problem Oriented Educational Record: A Systems Analysis, Design, and Implementation Process.

Unified organizational systems with integrated information systems are required to deliver effective referral and remedial services to children who are experiencing learning problems. However, such organized systems do not exist widely enough in our schools. The purpose of the project was to develop a consensually derived data-referral system for delivering educational services in a model school district through the application of systems analysis and design techniques. In cooperation with educational personnel from the model school district, the authors carried out a four-phase system projected over a two year period. The result of the project was the development of a data-referral system entitled the Problem Oriented Educational Record which was accepted and implemented in the model school district on a regular basis. Checklists and progress chart are included in the appendix. (Author/SM)
