Teaching Aids

Instructional Materials
Are the instructional method and instructional material the same?
3
instructional methods and instructional materials are not one and not the same.
Instructional methods are the way by which information is taught. Instructional materials, include print and non-print media and the accompanying hardware which used to supplement and enhance teaching and learning activities by highlighting important points or key steps or tasks, so help to communicate information clearly and maintain students' interest.
4
No one tool is better than another
The teacher must be familiar with the media Media must be consistent with: cognitive, affective, and/or psychomotor skills. Instructional methods. Predetermined behavioral objectives
5
Instructional aides should be appropriate for
The physical conditions of the learning environment, The available financial resources The learner sensory abilities The message imparted by instructional materials must be accurate, valid, appropriate, unbiased, and free of any unintended messages.

Delivery System Content Presentation
7
Delivery System The delivery system includes both the software and the hardware used in presentation of information. Eg. the educator giving a lecture might choose to embellish the information being presented using a delivery system, such as PowerPoint slides (software), and a computer (hardware). The choice of the delivery system is influenced by the size of the audience, The pacing or flexibility needed for delivery, and The sensory aspects most suitable to the audience.
8
Content Past to Present Simple to Complex Known to Unknown Most Frequently Used to Least Frequently Used
9
Educator role in presentation
Practice using your visual aids in advance Set up or prepare visual aids before students arrive Check that equipments is working before students arrive Capture the interest of students Make students aware of the objectives and presentation
10
Three Major Components of Instructional Materials
Cont. Presentation Create positive learning climate Demonstrate effective presentation skills Make sure that students can see the writing board, flipchart sand screen Charts , diagrams and tables should be large and simple Prepare hardcopies of handouts Have question or exercise after using visual aids.

Types of instructional Materials
I. Written or printed materials Handouts books pamphlets brochures instruction sheets

Nature of the audience Literacy Level Required Figure 5.1 Brevity and Clarity (KISS rule: keep it simple and smart). Figure 5.2 Layout and Appearance Figure 5.3 Opportunity for Repetition Concreteness and Familiarity Figure 5.4
14
Advantages Disadvantages Always available less opportunity to clear up misinterpretation Rate of reading is controllable by the reader Highly complex materials may be overwhelming to the learner Complex concepts can be explained both fully and adequately Literacy skill of learner may limit effectiveness Verbal instruction can be reinforced Impersonal Limited feedback Learner is always able to refer back to instructions given in print Absence of instructor lessens

II- Demonstration Materials
Models writing board Posters
16
II- Demonstration Materials Models
Models are usually three-dimensional instructional tools that allow the learner to immediately apply knowledge and psychomotor skills by observing, examining, manipulating, handling, assembling, and disassembling objects while the teacher provides feedback . In addition, these demonstration aids encourage learners to think abstractly and give them the opportunity to use many of their senses.
17
Demonstration Materials
2. Writing board Important guidelines for instructors using chalkboards and white marker boards: Use chalk or pens that contrast with the background of the board so that students can see the information clearly. Make text and drawings large enough to be seen in the back of the room. Underline headings and important words for emphasis. Do not talk while facing the board Do not block the students' view of the board; stand aside when you have finished writing or drawing. Allow sufficient time for students to copy the information from the board. Summarize the main points at the end of the presentation..
18
Demonstration Materials
3- Posters Use complementary (opposite-spectrum) color combinations One color should make up as much as 70% of the display. Balance script with white space (or another background color) and graphics to add variety and contrast. Convey the message in common, straightforward language Adhere to the KISS principle (keep it simple and smart). Keep objectives in mind
19
Demonstration Materials
Cont. Posters Be sure content is current and free of spelling, grammar, and mathematical errors.. Avoid using all-capital letters except for very short titles and labels. Use a title or introductory statement that orients readers to the subject. Logically sequence the written and graphic components Use arrows, circles, or directional lines The ability of a poster to influence behavior or expand awareness can be greatly enhanced by careful consideration of its content, intended audience, and design elements
21
Advantages and disadvantages of demonstration materials.
Brings the learner closer to reality through active engagement Content may be static, easily dated Useful for cognitive reinforcement and psychomotor skill development Can be time consuming to make Effective use of imagery may impact affective domain Potential for overuse Many forms are relatively inexpensive Not suitable use with large audiences Opportunity for repetition Not suitable for visually impaired learners
22
III-Audiovisual Materials
1- Projected learning resource 2- Audio learning resource 3- Video learning resource 4- Telecommunications learning resource 5- Computer learning resource
23
Projected learning recourses
I- PowerPoint Illustrate one idea per slide. Keep images simple by using symbols, or diagrams. Put long lists of words or complex figures on handouts that supplement the slides. Avoid distorted images by keeping the proportion of height to width at 2:3. Use large, easily readable, and professional-looking lettering.
24
Projected learning recourses
2- Overhead Transparencies Provide an outline for the teacher to follow in discussing the main points of a presentation. Transparencies are very useful for presenting a large amount of information Show images, illustrations, charts, or diagrams to support a topic. Provide visual support to students as they make their own presentations and oral reports.
25
Audio learning resource
Audiotapes: Compact Discs, Cassette tapes and CDs are very popular formats today It can be prepared specifically to meet the needs of a learner by reinforcing facts, giving directions or providing support. Radio The radio has tremendously affected all of our lives for many years and is one of the oldest forms of audio technology.
26
Another , Audiovisual Materials
Videotapes and DVD Videotapes and DVDs are one of the major non-print media tools for enhancing patient, family, staff, and student education because tapes can be simultaneously entertaining and educational
27
Telecommunications learning resource
Telecommunications is a means by which information can be transmitted via television, telephone, and satellite broadcasting. بث اذاعى Telecommunications devices have allowed messages to be sent to many people at the same time in a variety of places at great distances..
28
Computer learning resource
It is an efficient instructional tools in that educators has more time to teach other tasks not usually taught via computer such as psychomotor and affective skills.
29
Advantages and disadvantages of audiovisual materials
May be especially beneficial for visually impaired, low-literacy patients Some forms may be expensive Most forms very practical, cheap, small, and portable Needs sufficient delivery system Flexible for use with different audiences Some purchased materials may be too long Powerful tool for role modeling, demonstration. Some purchased may be inappropriate for audience Time efficient Some purchased materials may be so complex
30
How to select materials
Ask your- self which material will best support your particular audience. Remember that active learn involvement is best for retention of information. Above all else, remember that instructional materials should be used to support learning only by complementing and supplementing your teaching, not by substituting for it.
31
Information retention based on level of active learner involvement.

Learning Recall Related to Type of Teaching Activity
Type of teaching activities After 3 Hour After 3 Days Verbal (one-way) lecture 10% Written (reading) 25% Visual and verbal (illustrated lecture) 72% 20 % Participatory (role play, case study, practice, etc.) 90% 70%
