Systematic (M O L E)
It is a network of elements or parts different from each other but each one is special in the sense
that each performs a unique function for the life and effectiveness of the instructional system.
The systems approach views the entire educational program as a system of closely interrelated
parts.
It is an orchestrated learning pattern with all parts harmoniously integrated into the whole: the
school, the teacher, the students, the objectives, the media, the materials, and assessment tools
and procedures.
Such an approach integrates the older, more familiar methods and tools of instruction with the
new ones such as the computer.

Systematized Instructions
1. Define Objectives- instruction begins with the definition of instructional objectives that consider
the students' needs, interests and readiness.
2. Choose appropriate methods- on the basis of these objectives the teacher selects the
appropriate teaching methods to be used.
3. Choose appropriate experiences- based on the teaching method selected, the appropriate
learning experiences, an appropriate material, equipment and facilities will also be selected.
4. Select materials, equipment and facilities- the use of learning materials, equipment, and
facilities necessitates assigning the personnel to assist the teacher.
5. Assign personnel roles- defining the role of any personnel involved in the preparation, setting
and returning of this learning resources would also help in the learning process.
6. Implement the instruction- with the instructional objectives in mind, the teacher implements
planned instructions with the use of the selective teaching method, learning activities, and
learning materials with the help of other personnel whose role has been defined by the teacher.
7. Evaluate outcomes- after instructions, teacher evaluates the outcome of instruction. From the
evaluation results, teacher comes to know if the instructional objective was attained.
8. Refine the process- if the instructional objective was attained, teacher proceeds to the next
lesson going through the same cycle once more.
