Ways of Selecting Instructional Materials (Osborn, 2000)
● Relevant materials to instruction
● Systematic and cumulative review
● Materials should reflect
● Materials should contain extra tasks
● Materials should be consistent (language)
● Materials should relate the respectful subject
● Instruction to the students should be clear, unambiguous and
easy to follow
● Layout pages should combine attractiveness with utility
● Materials should contain enough context
● Content of the materials must be precise and accurate
● Should be a limit in the number of different materials so as not to
overload or confuse students
● Artwork in the materials must be consistent with the treat of the
materials
● Cute, non functional space and time by brief explanations of
purpose for both teachers and students
