LEARNING EXPERIENCE I
Searching for Instructional Material
I. INTRODUCTION
Educational resources are very important tools used by every teacher to improve
the teaching-learning process. Effective use of instructional materials can assure a teacher
for an active and productive learning and assessment.
III. PARTICIPATION
The importance of producing instructional material is to facilitate the teaching-
learning process. The essence is not to use the instructional materials as objects of
decoration but instructional materials must be utilized for an effective, meaningful, and
interactive teaching-learning engagements.
As you assist you CT in searching for needed instructional materials, consider the
following purposes why teachers use instructional in teaching.
Purposes of the Utilization of the Instructional Materials
• The instructional materials capture the learner’s interest
• The instructional materials contribute in the realization of the learning objectives
• The instructional materials motivate the learners to be engaged in the teaching
learning process
• The instructional materials contribute in making difficult concepts easy to
understand
• The instructional materials concretize abstract ideas or make concepts realistic to
the learners.
• The instructional materials afford degree of retention of concepts or ideas
• The instructional materials make learning more real and meaningful
• The instructional materials stimulate self-activity on the part of the learners
• The instructional materials address different learning styles and needs of the
learners

LEARNING EXPERIENCE 2
Preparing Instructional Materials
I. INTRODUCTION
As 21st Century learners, elementary school pupils are considered to be highly
visual and manipulative. They learn best if they have direct learning experiences of the
teaching-learning process. They find the learning experiences meaningful if they are
supplemented with instructional materials for their reading, listening, viewing and
creating activities.
Confer with your RT the materials he/she wants you to prepare. Identify the types
of point materials and audio-visual media needed for various purposes in the classroom.
