 MY ANALYSIS

Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own
materials? Explain each.

1. Surveying available materials lead us into having an idea on how those materials are
significant to the lesson that we are going to deliver. It gave us knowledge on how those
materials are related and useful in our topic. Upon seeing those instructional aids, it give us
suggestion on how are we going to deliver the lesson more beneficial and effectively.

2. To be able to have an effective presentation of lesson, the teachers should be

knowledgeable to the materials itself. Upon observing and surveying, we become aware
and able to use the materials. With the knowledge and skill, the way on how we will deliver
the topic will be more accurate and precise. The understanding of the procedures and
guidelines in using the material will make the educative process be accessible. The
awareness on the usage of materials will lead the teacher into more effective facilitator of
learning.

3. Aside from that, it gave us thought on what type of materials will motivate the students’
interest. It makes us conscious on what type of instructional materials will be applicable in
specific grade level of students. It gave us knowledge on what kind of materials will be
effective and necessary to the topic, as well as the learners. Good characteristics of the
teaching aid also perceived by us and in that way, more precise and correct usage of the
instructional materials will be applied.

MY REFLECTIONS

1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
 The teaching material which I think would be the most conducive to use
is the LCD projector within the prepared power point presentation. Having it in
the school is being useful aid in teaching- learning process. It is chosen by me
because it is less expensive yet a wonderful presentation could also be created.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did you overcome
them?

In deciding the materials to be used, we prepared to have a drill and practice

software which is relevant to our topic. We foresee that it will greatly help to provide our
students with quality learning. Yet, it is not that easy to download the software itself. On the
other hand, preparing the slide presentation, we encountered very minimal hardship due to
having our own background and prior knowledge in creating it. In accomplishing our visual
aid, we found difficulty in deciding the appropriateness of the design due to having our
own ideas and decision. Still, with the cooperation and unity of the group, everything was
being settled.

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?

In preparing the material needed, in teaching, teachers should consider the topic
itself, the learners and of course the availability of learning materials. It will be easy to
present a lesson if materials are already provided at the school and accessible. If it is visual
aids, the font color and sizes should be appropriate to the visual ability of the students. On
the other hand, providing PowerPoint presentation will also be accurate because it
somehow arouses students’ interest and attention. However, the graphics and theme of the
slide presentation should also be applicable to the age of the students. The instructional skill
possess by the teachers, however will definitely sum up the appropriateness of the
instructional materials to be presented at the class.

In preparing the material, it is not a requisite to be too much expensive. The teacher
should also acquire the attitude of being resourceful. It will be possible if the teacher have
their own creativity on how to make their materials in a way that still, it cope the students’
attention and make them participate in teaching-learning process. What important is, the
teaching aid to be provided will not just serve as decoration nor profs of the teacher,
instead, it will help students develop their learning in a maximum possible way.
