Topic: The definition of Teaching/Learning Materials (TLM) or

Instructional Materials

Objectives:
1. Teaching/Learning Materials (often referred to by the acronym
TLM) or Instructional Materials
2. Discuss why are Teaching/Learning Materials important in
teaching?
3. Give the purpose of teaching and learning materials.
4. Identify the types of instructional materials.

1. Introduction :

Instructional Materials or Teaching and Learning Materials are resources that a

teacher may use in teaching and learning situations to help achieve desired learning objectives
and to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Broadly, the term refers to a spectrum of
educational materials that teachers use in the classroom to achieve specific learning
objectives. These include the lectures, readings, textbooks, multimedia components, and
other resources.

II. Read Me

The best instructional materials are aligned with all other elements in the course,
including the learning objectives, assessments, and activities. Ideally, the teaching and
learning materials will be tailored to the content in which they are being used, to the learners
in whose class they are being used, and the teacher.

Instructional materials can be classified by type; including audio, visual and audio-visual
resources.

Audio media

These are teaching and learning materials that appeal to the auditory sense. For
example: podcasts, telephones, radios, records and record players, storytelling, etc.

Visual media

These are materials that appeal to the sense of sight (eyes). For example: images, real
objects, charts, flip charts, chalk boards and whiteboard, projected aids, etc.

Audio-visual media

These are teaching and learning materials that have the capacity to appeal to both
auditory and sight senses. For example: television, educational videos, etc.
 Purpose of teaching and learning materials

Teaching materials come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have in common the
ability to support learning. The purpose and importance of teaching and learning materials is
to make lessons interesting, learning easy and enable teachers to easily express concepts. The
following are the Purpose of teaching and learning materials:

Learning support

Learning materials can significantly increase learners’ achievement by

supporting learning. For example, an educational video may provide a learner with
new insights and an appealing worksheet may provide the learner with new
opportunities to practice a new skill gained in class. This process aids in the learning
process by allowing the learner to explore the knowledge independently as well
as providing repetition. Learning materials, regardless of what kind, all have some
function in student learning.

Lesson structure

Teaching and learning materials can also add important structure to lesson
planning and the delivery of instruction. Learning materials act as a guide for both the
teacher and the learner. They can provide a valuable routine in the teaching and
learning process. For example, by providing a summarizing poster or video after each
topic.

Differentiation of instruction

In addition to supporting learning more generally, teaching and learning

materials can assist teachers in the differentiation of instruction. Differentiation of
instruction is the tailoring of lessons and instruction to the different learning styles
and capacities within your classroom. Learning materials such as worksheets, videos,
group activity instructions, or any other, all allow teachers to modify them to best
activate each individual learner's needs or learning style, for example by using
different media.

TYPES OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

There are many types or categories of resources that teachers can use to
support the teaching and learning process. Some resources or more traditional, others are
more innovative. This subtopic reviews and introduces different types of teaching and learning
materials which any teacher can start using tomorrow. Because a successful integration is
more than just getting the tools into your classroom, every tool is accompanied with
suggestions on how to engage your learners and enrich your lessons.

Traditional and innovative resources

There is endless list of Teaching and Learning Materials. The ones we are most
familiar with are traditional resources. These may include any textbooks and workbooks used
in the classroom. For example, language arts classrooms almost always have literature
textbooks, writing textbooks, and even vocabulary and spelling workbooks. More innovative
materials may include charts, maps, videos, images, diagrams and flashcards. These
instructional materials were, among others, widely discussed in the subtopic on Tools for
Active Teaching and Learning

Podcasts

Every lesson created by a teacher should contain specific learning objectives from the
curriculum. Effective lesson planning will also include a clear, differentiated sequence of learning
that the children will follow in order to meet the chosen objectives. As part of that learning
sequence, teachers create opportunities for learning. Teaching/Learning Materials enable teachers
to offer more interactive, interesting and engaging learning activities.

Why are Teaching/Learning Materials important in teaching?

 The definition of Teaching/Learning Materials encompasses everything that a teacher can
use to facilitate learning for their pupils. From low-tech to high-tech, Teaching/Learning Materials
are the tools needed for children to learn and meet educational objectives.

Studies have shown that the combination of motivated teachers and well-planned learning which
makes good use of available Teaching/Learning Materials is the key to unlocking good progress.

The use of Teaching/Learning Materials enables a teacher to enhance the learning experience for
their pupils. It is a move away from the ‘chalk and talk’ style of teaching, where the teacher
essentially lectures the pupils.

By using Teaching/Learning Materials, a teacher can set up learning opportunities for the children.
So rather than solely imparting knowledge to their children, the teacher facilitates more
independent, activity-based learning.

What are the different types of Teaching/Learning Materials?

The definition of Teaching/Learning Materials means that it encompasses a huge variety of

resources. So the resources chosen for a given activity will depend on the type of learning, the
subject, and what’s available.For that reason, the following list is not definitive but offers an
introduction to some Teaching/Learning Materials commonly-used in the classroom.

Writing Prompts

When you’re teaching children how to write it’s important to do a certain amount of
modelling to show them how to construct a text. That could be a sentence or two in KS1 or
paragraphs and pages in KS2. However, there comes a point when the children will need to write on
their own. And that’s when writing prompts can help.

A writing prompt can take a variety of forms. You could give the children sentence stems to
help them start off their sentences. Before the children begin writing, get them to speak the
sentence first using the sentence stem.

Flashcards

Flashcards are a versatile type of Teaching/Learning Material which can be quick to

prepare and used in a variety of engaging ways. They’re helpful for both learning new information
and recalling prior learning for every subject on the curriculum!

Flashcards are often used in languages for learning vocabulary, and maths for learning number
sequences.

Even in this age of computers and internet-based learning materials, flashcards can be particularly
useful for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Printing high-frequency words, also
known as sight words, on the front of flashcards with short definitions on the back can create a
good learning tool for students who have auditory or visual learning styles.

Manipulatives

Manipulatives are physical objects brought in to support a pupil’s learning. For your more
kinaesthetic learners, manipulatives can be a great way to hold their focus and keep them engaged
in the learning process. Physical objects can be a great way to tackle problem-solving in subjects
like maths. You can use them to teach multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition.

Modelling Clay

As a Teaching/Learning Material, modelling clay is another handy resource for kinaesthetic

learning. It could be used to shape letters of the alphabet or numbers. Children could also create
characters out of it for storytelling. It can of course be used in an art and design context as well!

Younger students, such as those in kindergarten through third grade, can learn using model clay.
For example, a teacher might have young students make letters of the alphabet using clay. But you
can also use clay to teach concepts to older students. Teachers have been known to use model clay
to teach plate tectonics, the theory of how the Earth's surface behaves.
Visual Aids

Visual aids can be teaching tools designed for the entire classroom, such as posters
showing basic site words, class rules, or key concepts about important holidays or lessons.
But they can also be used the help students individually, particularly visual learners or those
having difficulty organizing their work or their thoughts. Graphic organizers, for example,
are charts and tools used to visually represent and organize a student's knowledge or ideas.
Graphic organizers can help students learn math and they are good tools for teaching special
education students and English language learners.

Story Books

Reading fiction aloud can be a powerful learning experience when children are actively
engaged in the story. There are many benefits to reading and all it requires is a good book. Reading
can have educational benefits because it:

aids sleep and reduces stress.

increases vocabulary and comprehension.

stimulates imagination and understanding.

develops listening skills.

encourages empathy with others.

With so many great technological advances, books are even more accessible.

Videos

Video has become an increasingly popular form of Teaching/Learning Material. Used in the right
way, it can be a really powerful educational tool. The key to using video clips for learning is to
ensure that the children have something active to do in response to it, whether that’s recording new
information or following step-by-step instructions.

Games

As a classroom teacher or parent, some of the greatest satisfaction comes when children are
learning without realizing it! Games can be a superb way of encouraging positive social skills as
well, including teamwork, sharing, turn-taking, and being a good winner and a good loser.

Computer Software and Apps

Plenty of learning computer software is available online. Interactive software programs can help
English language learners study grammar and other elements of the English language. And apps,
such as for tablet computers and even smartphones, offer instruction in everything from foreign
languages to information on the Common Core Standards as well as university-level lectures and
lessons for students—many of the apps are free.

If you have access to computers or tablets, software and apps are another fantastic resource for
Teaching/Learning Materials. Apps offer fantastic opportunities for interactive and engaging
learning.

However, with so many types on offer, it can be challenging to find one suitable for your young
learners. Thankfully, we’ve developed a range of educational apps for both teachers and learners.
Our apps are teacher-led, and developed by teams of passionate and skilled software developers.

Overhead Projector Transparencies

In this modern age, don't forget about the value of old-fashioned overhead transparencies. A
teacher can use overhead projector transparencies to teach counting skills, such as for numbers up
to 100, and visually demonstrate how charts and graphs work. Better even than a whiteboard or
blackboard, transparencies allow you or students to write numbers, create problems, circle, and
highlight features and easily wipe away markings with a paper towel or tissue.
