discuss in brief about designing, analysing and reviewing of TLM
Answers
Answer:
All of us have memories of our teachers who had taught us during school or
college days. A few of them were good, whereas others were not so good. Let us
analyze why did we call them good? Yes, they were caring, sympathetic, and
pleasant besides being effective in their teaching. One thing common among
them was that they used new methods, techniques and teaching learning materials
to make teaching interesting, thus, effective. Teaching learning materials (TLMs),
also known as instructional aids, facilitate a teacher in achieving the learning
objectives formulated by her/him prior to teaching-learning activities start.
In the present Unit, we will introduce you to various teaching learning materials,
which are used to make classroom teaching and learning interesting and effective.
In this chapter we shall discuss variety of teaching learning materials used in
classroom teaching. We will also explain how to prepare low or no cost TLMs
from locally available resources. Involving students in this venture will be
experiential learning for them, how to do it? The unit will also guide you on this
aspect.
After going through this unit, you will be able to:
• explain the importance of TLM in enhancing students’ learning;
• classify the TLM on basis of their characteristics;
• distinguish the use of different TLM in different contexts;
• prepare low cost TLM using locally available materials;
• involve students in designing and development of TLM;
• explore the web for finding teaching learning materials.
