Educational Technology and System Approach

The document discusses systems approach and its application to education. It defines a system as a dynamic, integrated whole composed of interrelated parts. There are two types of systems - natural and man-made. Any system can be described by its inputs, processes, outputs, and environmental context. The steps in a systems approach are system analysis, design/development, and operation/evaluation. When applied to education, systems approach can improve school administration, resource use, examinations, teacher training, and overall education quality. Key steps involve identifying problems and objectives, analyzing tasks, designing strategies, selecting solutions, implementing, and evaluating outcomes.

Objective

The unit aims to discuss meaning & types of systems approach


and its parameters and further to discuss Systems approach to
Education and its steps.
Introduction

A system is a general term applicable to many fields including


instructions and education. It is a dynamic and integrated whole. It is not
merely sum total of its parts of elements. It represents a complex but
systematic organization of interrelated and inter-dependent parts of
elements. A system is a self-governing, self-maintaining, and self
regulating structure.
Types of Systems

1. Natural systems
like solar system, and human body system

2. Man-made systems.
like telephone systems, refreezing system, and education system
Parameters of a System

Any system may be described in terms of four basic parameters:

1. Input: Input refers to what is put into a system


2. Process: Process is what goes on in a system
3. Output: The output is the product of a system and
4. Environmental context: This refers to all those conditions, factors and
constraints related with the physical and social environment in which
the system operates.
Parameters of a System

Environment
Input

Process

Output
Steps Involved in Systems Approach

Systems approach is a technique based on the systems concept and its basic
parameters for understanding, predicting and controlling the operation of a
system in a given environment to achieve the predetermined objectives in an
intelligent and economic way.

1. System analysis
2. Systems design and development
3. Systems operation and evaluation
Systems Approach to Education

It can bring efficiency in the school administration and management.


It may help in seeking the maximum effective utilization of the men and
material resources
 It may help in improving the examination and evaluation system
It may help in improving the training and development programmes, e.g.
the training teachers may be effectively improved.
Over and above, it may render valuable services in improving the quality of
education in all its aspects and dimension
Steps Involved in Systems Approach to
Education

1. Identification of the problem.


2. Specification of objectives.
3. Analysis of the task involved in achieving the objectives.
4. Systems analysis – analysis of the input and constraints of the
system in the context of the stipulated objectives.
5. System design and development – by generating alternative
strategies.
6. Identification of preferred solution in a given context.
7. Operation and implementation of preferred solution.
8. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the performance in terms of
the specified objectives
Systems approach to the Instructional system

Robb (1973) has marked three major phases in the system


approach to the instructional system that are:
1. Planning
2. Execution
3. Evaluation
System Approach to Teaching Learning Process

A typical system
System Approach to Teaching Learning Process

System approach to Education process


System Approach to Teaching Learning Process
A simplified systems approach to course and curriculum design
The various stages in the systems approach

1. Consider target population characteristics and topic area


2. Estimate relevant existing skills and knowledge of learners
3. Formulate objectives/learning outcomes
4. Select appropriate instructional methods
5. Operate course or curriculum
6. Assess and evaluate
Conclusion

There are three major steps involved in a systems approach, those


are System analysis, Systems design and development and Systems
operation and evaluation. System Approach application in the field of
education will surely make the system of education self-maintaining with
its basic parameters operating scientifically on the principle of feedback
and equilibrium.
