B. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
PUZZLE
Okay Class, I’m going to give you this
envelops.
Directions: Inside the envelops are cut (Students will start solving the puzzle)
pictures and then reform the puzzle…
*After solving the puzzle…
What is your idea about the picture that *It’s an Operating System
you come up with?
 2. Presentation *Operating system (OS) is a program or set of
Do you have any idea about Operating System? programs, which acts as an interface between a
user of the computer & the computer hardware.
3. Discussion
*The main purpose of an OS is to provide an
environment in which we can execute programs.
*Do you have any idea about the main goals of * To make the computer system convenient to use
OS? * To make the use of computer hardware in
efficient way
(The teacher will show the relationship between
application and System Software)
* TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS
Batch Operating System - Batch processing is the
most primitive type of operating system.
Multiprogramming Operating System - A
multiprogramming system permits multiple
programs to be loaded into memory & execute the
programs concurrently.
Multitasking Operating System - An instance of a
program in execution is called a process or a task.
Multi-user Operating System - Multiprogramming
operating systems usually support multiple users,
in which case they are also called multi-user
systems.
Multithreading - Allows different parts of a single
program to run concurrently.
Time-sharing system - Time-sharing is a popular
representative of multi-programmed, multi-user
systems.
Real-time systems - Real time systems are used in
time critical environments where data must be
processed extremely quickly because the output
influences immediate decisions.
Distributed Operating Systems - A distributed
computer system is a collection of autonomous
computer systems capable of communication &
cooperation via their hardware & software
interconnections.
4. Generalization
From your group again look at the
picture that you solved earlier and
 identify what type of OS is that. A
representative will discuss it and I will
give you 5 mins. Okay Start!
5. Application
This activity is called the What Can I
Remember? (show the example in the
slide) Copy the Chart in the Slide and
write in on the manila paper.
6. Evaluation
Answer the following question and
write it on a ½ crosswise.
1. What is an Operating System?
2. What are the major functions
performed by an operating
system? Explain.
3. Enumerate the types of OS.
7. Agreement
Make a research about the Different
System Calls.
Write it on a whole sheet of paper.
