Yes,I agree with the philosophy Top-Down approach and Bottom up approach.I feel that this works in the education.In education,some of the courses can be taught directly through lecture.,and some require the direct interaction through laboratory.So,the approach and the method of teaching in both the cases differ.Therefore there comes the role of Top down and Bottom Up approach.These are completely differ with each other and they helps in understanding the needs of students and providing them the education based on their needs.
A Top Down approach teaching style focuses on immersing the students in the big picture without explaining the components that makeup the subject.If we consider a English language in an second language the top down will begin with immersing the students in all aspects of learning English immediately including writing,reading,pronouncing.In this case,the students will not be taught by the basic grammar.Instead they would be plugged into the totality of learning English and then they gradually learn the building blocks that make up the English language.
Unlike top down approach,Bottom up approach begins with the component parts of the subject and gradually builds up the whole.
As per my knowledge is concerned,bottom up is a better approach in both in an organisation or in education.
