SYSTEM ANALYSIS
IN EDUCATION
SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND EDUCATION
System means a set of Interrelated Factors
that are used together to produce an output
System Analysis involves the study of change
in the output due to a variety of changes in
the involved variables and a combination of
variables.
Curriculum as a system has elements like
input, process & output.

THE CONCEPT OF SYSTEM
It is a mode of description, which explains the whole or an aspect of an object in
terms of a set of interacting elements.
A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a
set of rules to form a unified whole.
A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its
1. Boundaries
2. Structure
3. Purpose
Practically a system is expressed by its functioning.
THE CONCEPT OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS
It is a problem solving technique that improves
the system and ensures that all the components
of the system work efficiently to accomplish their
purpose
System Analysis enables comprehension of
complicated structures.
It Allows for better management
implementation and changes.
of
It Aligns the curriculum with its objectives and
priorities.
Minimizes issues and reduces the work
THE OBJECTIVES OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS
OBJECTIVES OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS?
1) To determine specific needs.
2) Discuss approaches and tasks.
3) Evaluate tools and techniques.
4) Use appropriate methods and techniques
CURRICULLUM AS A SYSTEM
Curriculum can be of two types:
1. Macro curriculum
2. Micro curriculum
Macro gives you the generic rules or guidelines that schools will have to follow for attaining the curricular
goals/objectives
Micro is very specific to subjects and the learning expectations
Hence, there is total interaction within the curriculum:
A. Between the stake holders, learning content, needs and learning outcomes
B. Within the subjects
Hence Curriculum is a system

FEATURES OF CURRICULUM AS A SYSTEM
The Curriculum as a system will have the following features:
1. Parts :
a. Learning Content
b. Learning Experiences
c. Learning Outcomes
2. Whole : These all interact to make the whole
3. Interdependent: These all are interdependent to construct the whole
4. Goals: These all work together towards fulfilling the goals
Learning Content
Learning Experiences
Learning Outcomes
Curriculum
Fulfilment of
Goals
WHEN CURRICULUM BECOMES A SYSTEM
• It defines Purpose and Goals
• Results in Continuous Assessment and Quality Improvement
• Generates a Rational Sequence
• Makes strategy for Teaching And Learning
SYSTEM MAKES EVERYTHING SYSTEMATIC
• Helps in the selection of Learning Experiences
• Introduces the process of Curriculum Development
• Helps in Continuous and Comprehensive Education
WHY & HOW CURRICULUM AS A SYSTEM?
•
•
•
•
Accountability
Unity
Continuity
Quality
How do you produce such a system of curriculum?
There are four phases for the production of the system model
1. Conceptualizing phase
2. Contextualizing phase
3. Implementing Phase/operational phase
4. Evaluating Phase/institutionalizing phase
SYSTEM ANALYSIS IN EDUCATION
What is system analysis in education?
It is a process of:
•
Collecting and Interpreting Facts
•
Identifying the Problems
•
Decomposition of a system into its components
Essentially, systems analysis is the comparison of alternative means of carrying out some function, when
those means are rather complicated and comprise a number of interrelated elements.
The purpose of system analysis is to compare one system with other and see which is better
APPROACH TO SYSTEM ANALYSIS IN EDUCATION
By system, a set of interrelated factors is meant
which are used together to produce an output.
In a successful system analysis, the analyst can vary
the inputs and note the effect on both cost and
output and decide which system is better.
Here also one curriculum system can be analysed on
the basis of the input and the resources required for
it and the cost involved in that. And it can be
compared with any other curriculum system
This approach of system analysis forces the user to use explicitly all possible variables
in terms of inputs, design processes and obtain the output
CHARACTERISTICS OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS IN EDUCATION
• CENTRAL OBJECTIVE
• ORGANIZATION
• INTERACTION
• INTERDEPENDENCE
• INTEGRATION
Relationship with System and Environment
INPUT: Flow from the environment to the system
OUTPUT: Flow from the system to its environment
Boundaries of the Educational System may exist physically or conceptually.
ELEMENTS OF SYSTEMS APPROACH IN EDUCATION
 Involving Communities. ...
 Strengthening Capacity and Capability. ...
 Scaling Practice. ...
 Sustaining outcomes. ...
 Values and Principles
