Lesson 4 - Systematic Approach to Teaching

According to C. West Churchman stated that “A plan that emphasizes the parts many pay the cost of failing to consider the whole, and a plan that emphasizes the whole must pay the cost of failing to get down to the real with respect to the parts”.

The system’s approach to the instruction is not just of theory but it is being broaden in practice, not just normal approach to teaching but is composed of more enhancements to the instruction. In this, teachers should undergo a specific target especially the consideration of students, their needs, interest, home background, prior experience, developmental stage as well. Various methods and strategies should be able to implement to maintain the meaningful learning to students.

In the system, there are elements to teaching. 
First is to Define the objectives in which teacher should be able to identify the content that are said to be connected to one another where one can be reflected the point of a certain objective. 

Second on the process is to Choose appropriate method, this will really help students to keep them motivated and with this method should fit to the situation. 

Third, Choose appropriate experiences, the very purpose of this is to make the method fits into the activities. 

Fourth, Select materials, equipment and facilities in order for the students to accommodate their learning skills and apply the certain activity well. 

Fifth, Assign personnel role which this includes the preparation and setting in order to have a convenient way of the teaching-learning process. 

Sixth, to Implement the instruction where the evidence taken in the system, this would make system packages the instruction into a successful none since the student is the focus, so teacher has to give extra effort to the students in order to give also an extra justice to his instruction given. 

Seventh, Evaluate outcomes wherein teacher should planned well because on this stage, the result of the process will be identified whether it is attainable or not and last is to refine the process, this will be the basis of the evaluation, the teacher here will have his reaction and post evaluation for him to improve more or focus to remedial of the class. With that, student will be able to assess regularly their learning.

All this elements are very important and connected to one another. If one will not be attained, it adversely affect to outcome of the entire system to instruction. Lastly as Brown (1969) stated that “the purpose of a system instruction design is to ensure orderly the relationships and interaction of human, technical, and environmental resources to fulfill the goals which have been established for instruction”. In short, a systematic approach for instruction is a network of elements or parts different from each other performs a unique function for life and effectiveness of the instruction.
