SystemDerived from Greek word Systema.

Refers to set of parts or components interconnected naturally or manually to form unit and accomplish certain objectives by means of tasks.

Set of concepts, definitions, and propositions that explain or predict relationships between events/situations

e.g. A computer.

DefinitionsThe sum total of separate parts working

independently and in interaction to achieve previously specified objectives.

- Kaufman System is a group of components consisting

of humans and or non-human components who organized and arranged so that the components can act as a unity in achieving its objectives, common goals or outcomes.

- H. Kerzner

System is a whole that functions as a whole by virtue of interdependence of its parts.-Buckley

System is essentially a set of components, elements, which are related to each other, interplay and interdependence, so that the whole is an integrated unit or a totality, and has a specific role or purpose.-Institute of Public Administration(IPA)

Instruction System • Instruction system is a set of events that

affect students, leading to the learning process.

- Gagne and Atwi• Instruction system is an organized

combination which includes the elements of human, material, facilities, equipment, and procedures that interact to achieve a purpose.

Systems Approach to Instruction

• A systematic process of solving problems, analyzing and reaching to systematic conclusions on educational/instructional problems.

• Calculate possibilities dealing with institutional problems and developmental issues.

• The approach comprise of two parts- System analysis and System synthesis

• Focus on- Process orientation and Product orientation

Kaufman’s model of System approach to Education

Gagnè's procedures

in system

development

Advantages • Effective planning by planners and

implementers• Optimization of available potential

resources• Provide feedback• Increases learning and its outcome• Decreases frustration and increases

achievement of students• Focus on impact of environmental changes• Explain synergy & interdependence
