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 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
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.

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, questions, and
activities
 Easy for teachers, students and parents to use

assessments, and answers

 Engagement: sparks students interest; relevant

on, requires movement longer investigations

Contextualized Instructional Materials

2
 These are improvised learning materials which facilitate instruction.
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.

Revisiting The Infographics

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.
