System Approach to Instruction in ICT

 

System Approach to Instruction.

System approach was introduced during Second World War. Since then, it has particularly influenced the management decisions of industry, government, military and business sectors. System refers to a fixed method. In fact, system approach is a thorough analysis of a system.

 

 

 

It is applied to develop, implement, and evaluate various aspects of the education system, and sub-system. It is a problem-solving method, analysing the educational process, and making it more effective. The purpose of the systems analysis is to create an enabling learning environment for both teachers and students.

Advantages of System approach

Ø System approach helps to identify the suitability of the resource material to achieve the specific goal.

Ø Technological advance could be used to provide integration of machines, media and people for attaining the defined goal.

Ø It helps to assess the resource needs, their sources and facilities in relation to quantities, time and others factors.

Ø It permits an orderly introduction of components demonstrated to be required for systems success in term of student learning.

Ø  It avoids rigidity in plan of action as continuous evaluation affords desired beneficial changes to be made.

 

 

Disadvantages /Limitations of system approach

Ø  Some are not prepared for extra load.

Ø  Lack of understanding. Teacher and administrators are still not familiar with system approach.
