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 aid since they assist the teachers in facilitating the
teaching-learning process.
Print materials may include books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspaper,
etc.
Non-Print materials may include microscope sides, models, rocks, field visits,
etc.
Electronic Materials may be side 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 contents.
 Help students utilize higher-order thinking skills.
The positive use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) facilities
the teaching-learning process. Educational ICT tools can have several advantages in
the teaching-learning process. Some of them are:

 Improve teacher-student interaction and active student engagement

 Ensure comprehension of complex instruction
 Mobile learning is accessible, anytime and anywhere
 Opens avenue 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
administration
Some challenges that teacher 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. At. Entitled: “How Teacher Judge the
Quality Instructional Materials”, a table was presented to show the criteria for
determining the quality of instructional materials.

Teacher’s Criteria for Determining the Quality of Instructional Materials

 No errors; correct information

Accuracy, visual appeal  Well-written
 Strong visual appeal

 Aligned to standards
Alignment to standards
 Efficiently addresses standards
depth of knowledge
 Appropriate depth of knowledge, question and
activities

 Easy for teachers, students and parents to use

Ease of use, support  Complete set of instructions, materials,
activities, assessment and answers
 Appropriate support for hew teachers
 Engagement: sparks student interest; relevant
 Differentiation: Appropriate materials by skill
level, language ability, cognitive capability and
learning style
Engagement, ability to meet  Cultural and Background knowledge:
student needs
Culturally relevant; aligns with background
knowledge
  Diverse activities: group and individual, hands-
on, requires movement longer investigations

Contextualized Instructional Materials

These are improved learning materials which facilities instruction.

Teacher needs to contextualize the learning materials for the students to

increase student motivation, activate learner’s 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 promote a higher level of comprehension. By contextualizing the instructional
materials, students get involved in their learning and are able to attain the mastery of
the content of the lesson.

REVISITING THE INFOGRAPPHICS

With the many changes and transition 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.

Time- Blackboards, whiteboards, chalks and markers textbooks,

Encyclopedias charts, posters, pictures maps, globes,
Tested Atlases, almanacs flashcards and worksheets laboratory
Materials Apparatuses and equipment toys, models, blocks

Computer, laptops, tablets interactive whiteboards,

ICT Tools Webboards, audiobooks Spreadsheets (Google Sheets,
(Hardware and MS Excel) Presentation Software (Google Slides, PowePoint,
Prezi) Video Conferencing Softwares (Zoom, Google Classroom,
Software)
Mircosoft Teams) Social Networking Sites (Facebook, Twitter,
WikiSpaces)

PE RFORMING MY TECHING-LEARNING ACTIVITIES

 Performance Task 1

Assisting the Cooperating Teacher in the preparation of presentation and learning

materials to be used in classes.

Observe your Cooperating Teacher for five days (start of the week is advisable). List
down the instructional materials or ICT tools that he/she has utilized during the week.
Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the said materials.

Observation Log

Cooperating Teacher: Ms. Mary Juliet Doño Date: Nov. 13, 14, and 16, 2023

Instructional Materials/ Strengths and Weaknesses of the IM’s/

ICT Tools ICT Tools
Strenth: Visual Aid
PowerPoint presentations provide a
visual aid that can enhance the learning
experience. Visuals can help explain
complex concepts, making it easier for
students to understand and retain
information.
Day 1
PowerPoint Presentation
(Nov. 13, 2023)
Weaknesses: Overreliance of the Slides
Some educators may rely too heavily on
PowerPoint, leading to a passive learning
experience for students. It's essential to
balance the use of slides with other
teaching methods to foster active
engagement.
Strengths: Quick Results
Scientific Calculator will give automatic
results and response.
Day 2 Scientific Calculator
Weaknesses: Lack of Mental Math Skills
(Nov. 14, 2023)
This will lead for a student to have that
lack of mental math skills because it wil
make the student become more
dependent to it.
Day 3 Visual Aids (traditional) Strenths: Engagement
(Nov. 16, 2023) Well-designed visual aids can capture
students' attention and increase
engagement. The inclusion of visuals can
make lessons more interesting and
dynamic, fostering a positive learning
environment.
 Weakness: Time-Consuming
Creating or preparing effective visual aids
can be time-consuming for educators.
The time spent on creating visuals may
reduce the overall time available for
instruction.

Performance Task 2

Developing contextualized instructional materials appropriate for the demonstration

teaching modality
Choose a topic form the list of lessons of your Cooperating Teachers and collaborate
with him/her in designed and creating contextualized instructional materials for the class.
You may also surf the net for samples to better guide you in preparing these materials.
Provide photos, paste and label them on “Working in May Learning Artifacts”.
