Title: A MODEL OF EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS IN REVOLUTIONARY SOCIETIES: CHINA (1949-1974) AND CUBA (1959-1981)
Abstract: "The purpose of this study is to conceptualize, operationalize, and test a comprehensive theoretical model which can enable researchers to delineate and explain the major transformations which occur in the educational systems of Marxist revolutionary societies. A Theoretical Descriptive Model consisting of four Main Traits--Cognitors, Strucitors, Behavitors, and Educitors--is proposed and utilized as the basic framework of analysis. Each Trait is defined in relation to a set of macro-educational indicators, which are grouped according to sub-trait characteristics.
Utilizing quantitative and qualitative data from China and Cuba in the appropriate categories of the Model enabled the construction of a propositional typology of educational transformations in revolutionary societies. The propositional typology consists of tentative generalized conclusions that pertain to each Trait and sub-trait. From the typology's generalized statements the final task of the study--i.e., the construction of an ideal type model--became attainable. It is assumed that this composite ideal model is a contribution to substantive theory concerning revolutionary educational systems.
The Theoretical Descriptive Model, while specifically designed for the analysis of national education systems in revolutionary societies, is presumed appropriate for any comprehensive macro-educational analysis at the national level. As such the Model has the potential of being a useful methodological tool for comparative educators who are seeking to propose a general theory of educational systems, as well as of utility to educators in revolutionary societies."
