Using and Evaluating Instructional Materials

 
Introduction:
You should have a good  idea of your destination, both in the over-all purposes of
education and in the everyday work of your teaching. If you do not know where
you are going, you cannot properly choose a way to get there.

Discussion:
  Hayden Smith &  Thomas Nagel
●  book authors on  Instructional Media
● the one who give the acronym  PPPF
The Proper Use of Materials
You may have selected your instructional material well. This is no guarantee that
the instructional • material will be effectively utilized. It is one thing to select
a good instructional material, it is» another thing to use it well.
 
To ensure effective use of instructional material, Hayden Smith and Thomas Nagel,
(1972) book authors on Instructional Media, advise us to abide by the
acronym PPPF.
 
▪ Prepare yourself. You know your lesson objective and what you expect from
the class after the session and why you have selected such particular instructional
material. You have a plan on how you will proceed, what questions to ask, how you
will evaluate learning and how you will tie loose ends before the bell rings.
▪ Prepare your students. Set class expectations and learning goals. It is sound
practice to give them guide questions for them to be able to answer during the
discussion. Motivate them and keep them interested and engaged.
▪ Present the material under the best possible conditions. Many teachers are
guilty of the R.O.G. Syndrome. This is means "running out of gas" which usually
results from poor planning. (Smith, 1972) Using media and materials, especially
if they are mechanical in nature, often requires rehearsal and a carefully planned
performance. Wise are you if you try the materials ahead of your class use to avoid
a fiasco.
▪ Follow up. Remember that you use instructional material to achieve an
objective, neither to kill time nor to give yourself a break, neither to merely
entertain the class. You use the instructional for the attainment of a lesson
objective. Your use of the instructional material is not the end in itself. It is a means
to an end, the attainment of a learning objective. So, there is need to follow up to
find out if objective was attained or not.

Reflection:
Using and evaluating instructional materials can give a big impact to the students
because through to this they will understand and evaluate easily the lesson.
Instructional materials help the teacher for the improvement and effective in
teaching-learning process as well as to the progress and development of the
learners. In selecting the materials to be used, it's also important to consider the
different guidelines that should be needed to become effective and efficient in using
it.
          As a future educator, we need to have enough knowledge in using it even
the instructional materials are good and effective. It is necessary that we should use
an appropriate material for our learners or in accordance to the level of their
learning and styles. It should also attainable wherein it can successfully attain the
learning objective that we set.
