This course unit introduces the principles that create the dynamics of interaction in different systems of any society. After broaching the main organizing principles of the educational system, this course unit points out some typologies which enable to distinguish or approximate them, in accordance with the sources from which their main guiding principles rise. Keeping in mind their evolutionary tendencies, this course unit focuses especially on the problematic of regulation and governability. Finally, it discusses the assessment of education systems, identifying some well-known technical procedures in the assessment of pre-university school organizations.
