- 1. Instructional Material Development for Science Education & Technology in Elementary Science Education
- 2. Instructional materials play an important role in the teaching-learning process. Instruction is improved and learning is enriched and become more meaningful with the use of modern instructional methods and materials..
- 3. Instructional materials print and non-print items that are related to impact information to students in the educational process. (Effiong & Igiri, 2015).
- 4. Instructional materials provide the core information that students will experience, learn, and apply during a course. They hold the power to either engage or demotivate students. Therefore, such materials must be carefully planned, selected, organized, refined, and used in a course for the maximum effect. The planning and selection of instructional materials should take into consideration both the breadth and depth of content so that student learning is optimized.
- 5. Instructional materials are defined as resources that organize and support instruction, such as textbooks, tasks, and supplementary resources (adapted from Remillard & Heck, 2014). It refers to the human and non-human materials and facilities that can be used to ease, encourage, improve and promote teaching and learning activities.
- 6. Roles In Teaching And Learning 01 They promote meaningful communication and effective learning; 02 They ensure better retention, thus making learning more permanent; 03 They help to overcome the limited classroom by making the inaccessible accessible; They provide a common experience upon which later learning can be developed; 04
- 7. Different Types of Instructional Materials for Science Education
- 8. Writing Board ⮚ Can display information written with chalk (chalkboard or blackboard) or special pens (whiteboard). ⮚It is a convenient writing area where illustrations can instantly be drawn even during a discussion. An eraser can easily keep it clean and ready for continuous use.
- 9. Printed Materials ⮚ Consists of all written material, and is printed with text or graphics as a medium for communicating information. ⮚Type of educational material used by most teachers.
- 10. Magazines Textbooks Reference Books 2 Workbooks 4 Examples of Printed Materials 1 3
- 11. Pictures and Pictorial Materials Is a visual representation as by photography or painting. Makes it easier for the learners to understand what something really looks like, instead of mentally visualizing and imagining the lesson or the subject matter. Photographs Drawing Story Boards Post Cards Examples: Pictures and Pictorial
- 12. Realia/Real Object Solid, physical objects that can be brought into a classroom to be examined.
- 13. Graphic Organizers ⮚ A graphic organizer visually represents ideas, concepts, and relationships between various components. ⮚A graphic organizer is a strategy for science instruction that teachers can use to help students record information from direct observation as well as from reading in order to create a descriptive model of an organism or a phenomenon.
- 14. Dioramas include models, mock up objects, specimens, laboratories, simulation and games (toys). They are non- projected materials. Characteristically, they have length, width, height, hence they are called 3 dimensional.
- 15. Dioramas They usually display a historical time period, a nature scene, or a fictional situation. It will make the classroom be creative and innovative.
- 16. Bulletin Boards ⮚ A bulletin board is usually stationary on a wall or it can be movable. The surface is made of cork or soft wall boards for attachment of display items. Its contents may be used for the duration of unit being studied. The learning materials may be pictures, newspaper clippings, real objects or drawings.
- 18. The science classroom provides a perfect environment to help students develop the technological knowledge and skills they will need for the rest of their lives. Learning how to operate machines used for science experiments will help future mechanical engineers in their pursuits. An architect will employ modeling software similar to modeling programs used to design scientific experiments. And beyond future employment opportunities, these forms of literacy will help students make informed decisions as both consumers and global citizens. 01
- 19. Teachers can also use technology to engage and instruct students with learning or cognitive disabilities. 02
- 20. Science teachers can use many modern technologies to great effect in the classroom. Computer software and tablet apps have obvious applications in classroom activities, but the technologies inherent in automated cameras, LCDs and experiment monitoring systems can also aid in science education. 03
- 21. PowerPoint Presentation -The most common and useful , accessible way to create and present visual aids. -Easy to create colorful, attractive designs using the standard templates and themes; easy to modify compared to other visual aids, such as charts, and easy to drag and drop slides to re-order presentation.
- 22. & Visual Resources - Taught by the use of other sensory organs such as hearing and seeing. - Which include the television, video recording motion pictures with sound tracks, slide and films trips projection with sound tapes, films and multimedia. Sounds
- 23. Audio recording -Audio recording include tapes, records and compact discs. Tapes may be in the form of teacher- recorded, student recorded or ready-made tapes that are commercially produced. Audio media is used by the teacher in connection with speech rehearsals, drama, musical presentation, radio and television broadcasting.
- 24. Overhead Transparencies and Overhead Projector (OHP) -By using the overhead projector, a transparency will can show pictures, diagrams and sketches at a time when they are needed in a discussion. Step-by-step instruction, enumerations or any sequenced illustration can easily be presented through transparencies.
- 25. Video/Films -Films that address topics that children study in school are just as effective as other teaching materials. They see the world from another perspective and provide teachers with a new tool to enrich their lessons. Integrating and using films in the classroom stimulate young children's imagination and artistic awareness.
