Abstract. the article reveals the meaning of the notions “activity” and “system” both in general and pedagogical science context as the integration components of the system and activity-based approach to education. The purpose of the article is to characterize the concept of the system and activity-based approach and describe its development applied to the educational process. Emphasis is placed on the history of the development of the system and activity-based approach. The results of the investigation made it possible to conclude reveal that the idea to combine system-based and activity-based approaches does not belong to one scientist. It appears in a number of works of philosophers and psychologists of the first part of the 20th century. Considering the issues of teaching and raising a child gave a substantial impulse to the development of this idea in the 1960s-1990s. Nowadays the studied methodological approach to educational process complements other ones.
