DSS in educational organizations

Abstract An educational decision-support system (EDSS) should constitute one of the educational system's organizational targets, serving each of its levels. In view of the special structural and human characteristics of the educational system, and drawing upon current DSS theory and research in educational decision-making, the EDSS' main features and a structural framework for its implementation are outlined. A subsequent article presents the potential contributions, challenges, difficulties, and even dangers inherent in the EDSS implementation into educational systems.
