Abstract

The paper suggests an alternative universe in which failure is identified as a systems concern, instead of a human breakdown. The model presents successful behavior in terms of growth in process efficiency, rather than the (right/wrong) matrix associated with achievement orientation. Planning is viewed as a function of identifying behaviors on the part of the learner which can be utilized for future problem-solving. In effect, problem-solving and failure are poor bed-fellows.
