2.5 System Analysis

System Analysis or Educational Technology III—System Analysis is termed as Educational technology
III. It was developed after Second World War, it has scientific basis for decision making that concern

about the administration, management, business and military problems. This approach is also termed as
Management Technology. It is used for scientific study of educational administration and management

problems. In other words, “Educational technology III provides full support in the development of
educational administration and outline of instruction. By using this approach, educational environment
becomes more useful and effective in fewer amounts. Silverman (1968) has presented this approach as
below—
(i) Analysis is performed on the existing system to identify the parts and the interrelationships.
(ii) Synthesis is performed to combine these various elements together with new elements previously
unrelated.
(iii) Models are constructed to predict the effectiveness of the system.
(iv) Simulation is carried out prior to implementation of the system in real life.
Educational technology III also includes Training Psychology Design, Cybernetic Design and Theory
Reinforcement. This educational technology is becoming popular these days.
Educational technology III or system analysis was developed as a combination of hardware approach
and software approach.

Educational Technology I (Rigid Crafts Hardware)
+ Educational Technology III or System Analysis
Educational Technology II (Soft Crafts Software)

Educational technology III approach is a connector of Educational technology I and II. It has become
a very modern approach by combining hardware approach and software which is being used in every

field of education.
Educational technology III is in face based on principles of psychology. According to this, educational
system can be categorized into four main elements:

Sl. No. Class of the Key Elements
1. Input
2. Process
3. Output
4. Environment Context

Elements of System analysis (Educational technology III)
Input refers to those behaviour or abilities which are obtained from teachers and students before starting
teaching in an educational system.
Process refers to such activities which help in changing the input or available behaviour.
