Systems thinking is the process of understanding how things influence one another within a whole. In nature, systems thinking examples include ecosystems in which various elements such as air, water, movement, plants, and animals work together to survive or perish. In organizations, systems consist of people, structures, and processes that work together to make an organization healthy or unhealthy.

Systems Thinking has been defined as an approach to problem solving, by viewing problem  as parts of an overall system, rather than reacting to specific part, outcomes or events and potentially contributing to further development of unintended consequences. Systems thinking is not one thing but a set of habits or practices within a framework that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system can best be understood in the context of relationships with each other and with other systems, rather than in isolation. Systems thinking focuses on cyclical rather than linear cause and effect.

This research sought to illuminate this process by surveying building administrators to identify existing perceptions about the role of Educational Technology professionals in their schools. Preliminary results indicated that there were considerable differences between administrators concerning their expectations and that these differences were related to the size of their schools. Areas of agreement and disagreement will be discussed in efforts to provide information that might lead to a more unified and rational expectations.
