HARDWARE APPROACH, SOFTWARE APPROACH & SYSTEM APPROACH

HARDWARE APPROACH  

          The concept of Hardware Approach  is derived from the application of Physical science to education .The Hardware approach of education includes  the use of mechanical devices and machines in education. In this sense Audio-Visual aids like models, televisions, radios, charts, slides, projectors, computers etc. come under the category of hardware. The teacher can deal with larger  groups of students with the help of these mechanical devices.

SOFTWARE APPROACH

Origin of Software Approach lies in the application of behavioural science. It refers to application of teaching – learning principles in the shaping of behaviour. We can view its application while writing objectives in behavioural terms, selection of appropriate teaching strategy, reinforcement for correct response, continues evaluation, etc.

SYSTEM APPROACH

SYSTEM IS A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT PARTS. SYSTEM APPROACH DISPLAYS THE SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TO AN EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM STARTING WITH INPUT    [ ENTRY BEHAVIOUR ] AND OUTPUT [ TERMINAL BEHAVIOUR ]. SYSTEM APPROACH IS A RATIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD OF ANALYSING THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AND MAKING IT MORE EFFECTIVE . IT IS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL DEVELOPED TO MAKE THE EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURE MORE EFFECTIVE AND FLEXIBLE.
