What are some guiding principles in the selection and use of instructional materials ?

How should these materials be used for learning to the maximum and optimum ?

There is no drab lesson if appropriate media is used in its presentation.

Properly selected and used, its impact on the

attention, sustained interest, participation of students has long been

recognized to a point that this wide collection of

teaching tools earned the title "sub strategies".

It is not surprising to see these materials,

devices and instrumentsaccumulated in every teacher's

storehouse.

More teaching technologies such as

recordings, projectors and

computers, CD-ROMS, videos have been available in some

schools.

For optimum learning, let us observe the following general principles in the use of instructional materials (IMs):

1. All instructional materials are aids to instruction. They do not replace the teacher.

2. Choose the instructional material that best suits your instructional objectives.

3. If possible, use a variety of tools.

5. For results, abide by the general utilization guide on the use of media.

4. Check out your instructional material before class starts to be sure it is working properly.

1. All instructional materials are aids to instruction.

They do not replace the teacher.

Instructional materials must be used by the teacher

for the lesson or discussion. This may include in reporting which is

the students must understand very well using the instructional

materials that the teacher or the reporter had.

2. Choose the instructional material that best suits your

instructional objectives.

This means that we must decide what we want to

accomplish and then apply the tools or instructional materials that are capable

of that lesson. We've must not let the media

determine what we have to do, when we teach.

3. If possible, use a

variety of tools.

Using videos, computers, overheads and the chalkboard

not only keeps students’ interest but also responds to the needs

of those who receive information in different ways.

4. Check out your instructional material before class starts to be sure it is working

properly.

Nothing is more frustrating to you or to the students in the

process of instruction than to find that overhead projector or the LCD, for

instance, does not work in the process of instruction.

5. For results, abide by the

general utilization guide

on the use of media.

Learn how to use

instructional materials.

Prepare introductory remarks, questions or initial comments you may need.

Explain the objectives of the lesson.

There is a need to summarize or review the experience.

Provide a conducive

environment.

Strees what is to be watched or listened to carefully

State what they will be expected to do with the information they will learn.
