INTRODUCTION

Resource plays a vital role in the teaching-learning process. In education the meaning of resource is
any device, object or machine used by a teacher to clarify or enliven a subject. It can also be viewed as
material and equipment used in teaching learning process.
There are so many aspects of word “resource”. At some place, it is taken as a source of supply and
support or aid that can be readily drawn upon. This word is also used as to refer to a capability or
determination to persevere and in the context of classrooms; resources can be defined as physical
demonstration aids, learners‟ contextual understandings, teacher subject expertise, and structured
organization of materials, ideas and activities.
You all are aware of the importance of resources for teaching and learning. So question has shifted
from “does teaching-learning resources/technology enhance learning” to “how and in what contexts can
teaching-learning resources/technology be used to enhance learning.” In this Project, we will discuss about
these issues and also about the contexts, in which various resources are going to be useful in teaching-
learning process.

1.0 Objectives of the Workshop

describe the term „„teaching-learning resource”;
analyse the need of resources for teaching and learning process;
Categories various types of teaching-learning resources;

explain the importance of learner-oriented environment as learning resource;

delineate the role of classroom as resource;
discuss the function of community as teaching-learning resource;
describe importance of improvised resources;
identify ICT and multimedia resources for teaching-learning; and
select and integrate the appropriate resources in teaching and learning based on certain criteria.

TEACHING-LEARNINGRESOURCES

In present era of changing world i.e. digital and techno savvy, the characteristic of learner is also
changing. Around 12-15 years ago we could visualize that a learner was supposed to sit silently on his seat
and tried to grasp what teacher was teaching. It is an old notion where we envision that learners should be in
passive role and teachers have to play an active role in the classroom.
According to present concept the learners should be in the active role and teachers must be in the
role of facilitator. NCF-2005 also proposes that learning should be child oriented as well as activity oriented.
Learners, especially those belonging to adolescence age group do not understand the seriousness of
education in their age; but it is they who readily want to participate in process of getting education. So, this is
the responsibility of teachers to make their learners curious, eager to learn and also to be able to apply
whatever they have learnt. To achieve this active environment and active learning is essential. The meaning
1
of „active learning‟ is such type of learning in which learners are engaged with the learning materials, full
participation in the class, and work together to seek the knowledge. For this a teacher should create learning
friendly environment for his learners. These things can be ensured by use of learning resources in the
classroom.
1.1 Concept and Meaning of Learning Resources
Teaching-learning resources are those resources what teachers use to assist learners to meet the
expectations for learning defined by curriculum. We can also define these resources as materials used by a
teacher to supplement classroom instruction or to stimulate the interest of learners. Obviously, teaching
learning resources aid to retain more concepts permanently. Also, learners can learn better when they are
motivated properly through different teaching learning resources.
Here are few definitions, which will help you to understand the concept of teaching-learning resources:
Teaching learning resources are tools that classroom teachers use to help their learners learn quickly and
thoroughly. A teaching aid can be as simple as a chalkboard or as complex as a computer program.-Klaus
(2010)

1.2 Importance of Resources in Teaching-Learning

In the former discussion we discussed what teaching-learning resources are. We have also discussed
that these resources also play a very significant role in teaching and learning and how these resources play a
significant role in teaching and learning. It is a Chinese proverb that “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I
remember and what I do, I understand”. In order to attain remembering and understanding the content,
teaching- learning resources are needed. The importance of teaching-learning resources is as follows:
i. Forgetting is an integral part of our memory. We all have tendency to forget. For memorizing and
retaining any concept appropriate use of teaching learning resources are very effective.
ii. Teaching-learning resources also motivate the individual. If teacher is using these resources to clear any
concept then because of motivation learners can learn better.
iii. In teaching-learning process, when a teacher uses these resources, learners use more than one sense
organ. Uses of more sense organs make the learning permanent because these resources help to develop the
proper mental image. Learners can learn any concept by using various senses like looking, hearing, touching,
smelling and doing (schema).
iv. Through teaching-learning resources, the teacher clarifies the content more easily.
v. Teaching-learning resources make available direct experience to the learner which is helpful in learning.
vi. Interest is related to motivation and motivation is essential for learning. The teaching-learning resources
make the environment interesting for the learners.
vii. In teaching; illustration with examples makes learning very successful. Teaching-learning resources
provide absolute picture for conceptual thinking.
viii. Teaching-learning resources are also helpful in increasing the vocabulary of the learners.

2
ix. Teaching-learning resources also remove dullness from the classroom and make the classroom live and
active.
x. Teaching-learning resources are also helpful in time and money saving.
1.3 Types of Teaching-Learning Resources
To make the teaching-learning process effectual, so many resources are available.
These resources are also known as teaching aids. We can categories these resources in different way as;
traditional teaching-learning resources & modern teaching-learning resources or audio teaching-learning
resources/aids, visual teaching-learning resources/aids &audio-visual teaching-learning resources/aids.
The brief classification of these resources is as follows:
a. Audio Teaching-Learning Resources: Those resources which involve the sense of hearing are known as
audio teaching-learning resources as; radio, tape recorder, audio CD, gramophone etc.
b. Visual Teaching-Learning Resources: Those resources which involve sense of vision are known as
visual teaching-learning resources as; charts, pictures, models, real objects, flash-cards, maps, chalkboard,
flannel board, bulletin board, overhead projector, slides etc.
c. Audio-Visual Teaching-Learning Resources: Those resources which involve the sense of vision with
sense of hearing are known as audio-visual resources as; television, film strips, film projector, audio-video
CD etc.

1.4 Role of a Teacher in Promoting Learning Resources

A teacher can use following skills and things as resource material in classroom:
Different writing style (Pen lettering skill, Calligraphy, Free-hand writing)
Lettering and Painting
Use of different colours in graphics

Modelling technique
Blackboard and chalk
Craft work
Blank World & India map

Textbooks (Course book and secondary books)

Mathematical Tables/log book

Cardboards
Newspaper
Cell phones
School teachers should make more effort for acquiring knowledge, expertise on various ways by
which they can develop improvised resources where the readymade resources are not available.
A teacher can get expertise in preparing these resources by seminars, workshops

3
and other training programs. Such type of programs should be attended by teachers on a regular time interval
and they should also practice this acquired knowledge and should try to get mastery in that. For example a
teacher can use plastic bottles as beakers and funnel or a used light bulb can be improvised for a round
bottom flask.
1.5 Benefits of using Learning Resources in Teaching
Improvised resources are cheaper to produce or buy because the raw materials are locally sourced.

Very low cost improvised resources make teaching and learning process easier for the teacher and

learners both.

Improvised resources motivate learners through the participatory activities during construction.

Improvised resources encourage class participation since majority of the raw materials can be sourced by

the learners themselves.

Improvised resources also arouse the interests of the learners because they are made from raw materials

they see daily in their immediate environment

Improvised resources can be used to teach large classes.

5. How to make water cycle working model using a DC pump, vaporizer, sunlight

What is water cycle?

The water cycle is nature’s way of recycling water around the Earth. It’s like a big,
continuous loop where water moves from one place to another in different forms. Here’s a
simple explanation:

1. Evaporation: The water cycle starts with the sun

heating up water in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
This heat turns the water into vapor (a gas) and
it rises up into the air.
2. Condensation: As the warm air rises, it cools
down high in the sky. When the water vapor
cools, it turns back into tiny droplets of water. These droplets gather together to
form clouds.
3. Precipitation: When the clouds get heavy with water droplets, they release the
water back to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This is called precipitation.
4. Runoff: After falling on the ground, the water flows downhill, gathering in rivers,
streams, and oceans. Some of it also soaks into the ground, becoming groundwater.
5. Collection: The water that flows downhill eventually makes its way back to the
oceans, where the whole cycle starts again.

 Elevate one end of the tray slightly to create a downhill slope. Pour water
gently at the top of the slope using a watering can or spray bottle to simulate
rainfall.
7. Observe Water Flow:

 Observe how water flows down the slope, collecting in the funnels and
potentially causing erosion. Note the impact on the soil and the movement of
rocks.
8. Introduce Obstacles and Triggers:

 Experiment by introducing obstacles such as rocks or sticks to observe how

they can affect water flow and increase the risk of landslides.
9. Document Observations:

 Use a ruler to measure any changes in the landscape, such as soil erosion
depth or the movement of rocks. Document your observations.
10. Implement Erosion Control Measures: – Introduce erosion control measures
such as planting more vegetation, building barriers, or creating terraces using craft
sticks or popsicle sticks.

11. Discuss Findings: – Discuss your findings, emphasizing the role of vegetation in
preventing soil erosion and the impact of human activities on slope stability.

 2. how to make 3D working model to
demonstrate types of nouns

What is noun?
A noun is a part of speech that refers to a person, place, thing, idea, or quality. It’s a
word that names something and can function as the subject or object of a sentence,
or as the complement of a verb or preposition.

Types of Nouns:
1. Common Nouns: Common nouns are general names for people, places,
things, or ideas. They are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence.
Examples include “dog,” “city,” “book,” and “happiness.”
2. Proper Nouns: Proper nouns are specific names for people, places, or
things and are always capitalized. They refer to unique entities. Examples
include “John,” “London,” “The Great Gatsby,” and “Christmas.”
3. Concrete Nouns: Concrete nouns are tangible, physical objects that can be
perceived by the senses. They represent things that exist in the physical
world. Examples include “table,” “tree,” “car,” and “apple.”
4. Abstract Nouns: Abstract nouns refer to ideas, concepts, emotions, or
qualities that cannot be perceived by the senses. They represent intangible
or non-physical things. Examples include “love,” “freedom,” “happiness,”
and “justice.”

23
 5. Countable Nouns: Countable nouns are objects that can be counted and
have singular and plural forms. They can be preceded by numbers or
quantifiers like “a,” “an,” or “some.” Examples include “book” (singular)
and “books” (plural).
6. Uncountable Nouns: Uncountable nouns, also known as mass nouns, are
substances, materials, or concepts that cannot be counted individually.
They only have a singular form and do not use plural markers. Examples
include “water,” “sand,” “knowledge,” and “advice.”
7. Collective Nouns: Collective nouns refer to groups of people, animals, or
things as a single entity. Examples include “family,” “team,” “herd,” and
“flock.”
