WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?

It is a “planned, SYSTEMATIC method of working to achieve planned outcomes-a process not a product. Technology is

the applied side of the scientific development.”

(Dale, 1969)

SYSTEM MEANS

“an organized set of doctrines, ideas, or principles usually intended to explain the arrangement or working of a systematic whole”(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

The systems approach views the entire educational program as a system of closely interrelated parts.

Such an approach integrates the older, more familiar methods and tools of instruction with the new ones such as the computer.
