CLARIFYING MY TASK
Instructional Materials are tools used in instructional activities. They may either be print,
non-print or electronic materials. These materials are sometimes called teaching aids since they
assist the teachers in facilitating the teaching-learning process.
Print materials may include books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers, etc.
Non-print materials may include microscope slides, models, rocks, field visits, etc.
Electronic Materials may be slide presentations, videos, augmented realities, virtual
realities, online content, live streams, etc.
Some criteria may be considered in choosing and developing instructional materials. The
following may be considered:
● Aligned with the vision, mission and goals of the school
● Appropriate for age, developmental ability, interests and cognitive ability of the
students
● Diverse in terms of difficulty and must appeal to various points of views
● Must present quality of materials used and contain factual content
● Help students utilize higher-order thinking skills
The positive use of Information Communications Technology (ICT) facilitates the teaching-
learning process. Educational ICT tools can have several advantages in the teaching-learning
process. Some of them are:
● Improves teacher-student interaction and active student engagement
● Ensures comprehension of complex instructions
● Mobile learning is accessible, anytime and anywhere
● Opens a venue for new techniques in teaching
● Helps teachers to decrease their paperwork
● Allows parents to closely work with the teacher
● Permits for greater collaboration between and among teachers and administrators
Some challenges that teachers may face when integrating ICT in their classes:
● Limited accessibility and poor network connection
● Lack of sufficient training
● Inadequate technical support from schools
In a study made by Bugler, Dan, et al. entitled: "How Teachers Judge the Quality of
Instructional Materials", a table was presented to show the criteria for determining the quality
of instructional materials.
Teachers need to contextualize the learning materials for the students to increase student
motivation, activate learners' prior knowledge and promote more effective problem-solving.
Using materials such as actual objects, pictures, gestures or language and others ensure active
engagement whereby students utilize materials which promotes a higher level of
comprehension. By contextualizing the instructional materials, students get more involved in
their learning and are able to attain the mastery of the content of the lesson.
With the many changes and transitions in our everyday life, the instructional materials used
to enhance the teaching-learning process also undergo constant improvement and
development. There are countless benefits of traditional or "old school" materials.
