TECHNOLOGY
HARDWARE APPROACH
SOFTWARE APPROACH
SYSTEM APPROACH

4. HARDWARE APPROACH or
EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY 1
It is based on
The application of engineering principles for
developing electro-mechanical equipment for
instructional purposes.

5. SOFTWARE APPROACH OR
EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2
Also known as Management technology.
It owes its origin to the behavioural sciences
and their applied aspects concerning the
psychology of learning.

PRODUCT ORIENTED APPROACH PROCESS ORIENTED APPROACH
 What is produced here is
made available for being
used by the hardware
appliances.
What is produced through
software technology ,gets
utilized by the hardware
instruments and gadgets.
