The document discusses the system approach to education. It defines the system approach as a method to design, organize, and improve learning situations. A system includes inputs, processes, outputs, and feedback. In education, inputs include students, teachers, curriculum, etc. and outputs are student performance. The system approach aims to standardize outputs, plan inputs and processes, and use feedback to improve the system. It can help improve instruction, activities, training, resource use, planning, evaluation, and guidance. Overall, the system approach aims to enhance the quality of education.

educational situation implies
 Standards of output performance.
 Planned input and processes involving
organised learning materials and methods.
 Monitored output in which the use is to
revise, improve and evaluate the
instructional system providing feedback to
the learner and teacher.
 A degree of inbuilt flexibility to adjust to
individual situation.

8. PURPOSES AND USES OF SYSTEM
APPROACH IN EDUCATION
 Improvement in instructional system :
System approach can effectively improve
the instructional system. In instructional system, certain
interactive and interrelated elements are operating in a
systematic way to achieve stipulated instructional
objectives.
 Inputs: Inputs are teachers, students, curriculum, content,
instructional material.
 Process: It includes instructional methods strategies and
approaches.
 Output: Output are attainment of instructional objectives.

Improvement in co-curriculum activities: It helps
in bringing improvement in the organization of curriculum
activities and other educational aspects for maximum
development of personality.

Improvement in training: It helps in improvingcontinue…

training and development programmes.

9.  Utilization of resources: Utilization of human and
non human material and resources can utilize more
effectively the schools personnel by controlling,
coordinating and evaluating continuously the activities of
all the personnel.

Increase control and coordination: Coordination
among different parts is exercised as a result of the
achievement of specific objectives at level of operation.

Improvement in school affairs: System approach
may help in managing and improving the school affairs by
bringing efficiency in the school management and
administration.

Improvement in planning: It helps in systematic
educational planning in terms of long range goals
and specific short range objectives.

Improvement in evaluation: It helps in bringing

improvement in the examination and evaluation system.

10.  Improvement in guidance: System approach in
education can help in organizing and improving the
guidance service of the school.
 Improvement in non-formal and adult
education: System approach in education can prove an
effective means for designing, controlling and improving
the system of non-formal and adult education.
 Improvement in quality of education: It has full
potentiality to provide quite effective control to the process
and products of education by solving the various problems
related to education.
Thus the main use of system
approach n education is to improve the
quality of education.

12. Model instructional area
AREA: Learning to speaking ENGLISH
Step 1: Identify the task or the problem:
An English teacher finds out that there students are not able to
speak English properly. So they try to develop an Instructional
System to train the student to speak English with fluency and good
pronunciation
Step 2: Analyse the situation
The English teachers, developing the instructional system, find
out that their students, coming from lower middle class families
are not exposed to spoken English. List of available resources,
both in a school as well as in the community, which could be
utilized for speech practice, is prepared. This list may include
tape records, radios, television, lingua phone records, audio
cassettes, projectors, chats, diagrams etc. If a language
laboratory is available in the school or in the nearby
community, it will be ideal for giving speech practice. If a

13. Step 3: Arrange for good management
There should be very good co-ordination among the teachers
developing Instructional system. Each one is to be assigned some
responsibilities.
Step 4: Identify the objects
The terminal objectives may be stated in general terms as well as in
specific terms.
(A)The students, at the end of the instruction, will be able to speak
in English with fluency and good pronunciation.
(B) They can distinguish between sound pattern.
Step 5 : Specify the materials and method to be
used
(1) Audio tape recorder
(2) Radio
(3) Chart of vowels, diphthongs and consonants
(4) Film-strips, slides etc. for visual presentation
(5) Television

14. Step 6: Construct a prototype designed
(1) Listening to and producing individual sound.
(2) Listening to words and sentences and also producing them.
(3) Listening to dialogues and taking part in dialogues.
(4) Describing picture orally.
Step 7: Test the prototype design
Picture describe test, role-play test, interview etc. can be
conducted to measure the student’s progress in the
attainment of speech-skills through the Instructional
System.
Step 8: Analyse the result
The result will indicate what revisions and modifications are
necessary in the materials and methods.
Step 9: Implement and recycle
After making necessary revisions and modifications the
Instructional System is used for the whole class

Implementing System Approach
in Education
 Difficulties in saying
‘good bye’ to old methods
 Time consuming
 Hard work
 Not suitable for all
problems

17. CONCLUSION
In spite of certain difficulties and
limitations, it provides opportunity
to modify and improve the
educational system as best as
possible in the light of the evaluation
of the outcomes in relation to inputs,
processes, environment constraints
and stipulated objectives. Thus
system approach has full potentiality
to provide effective control to the
process and products of education by
solving the various problems related
