INSTRUCTIONAL

MATERIALS
JOHN KENNETH O. AREPENTIDO
OBJECTIVE

After the discussion, participants must be able

to create instructional materials aligned to
their lesson objectives.
 ‘’If learning material is designed
to be highly relevant and
delivered in context then it is
likely to be useful.’’

- CHARLES JENNINGS
Instructional materials
 Resources that organize and support instruction,
such as textbooks, tasks, and supplementary
resources (Remillard & Heck, 2014 ).
 Basically, any resource a teacher uses to help
him teach his students is an instructional
material.
The most effective learning strategy is by directly engaging in exercises closest in
resemblance to real-life situations.
PRINCIPLES OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
1. The instructional materials shall reinforce and
supplement – not a substitute for the educators;
teaching effort.
2. Instructional aids should be appropriate for the
physical considerations and the learning environment.
3. The message imparted by the instructional materials
must be accurate, valid, authoritative, up-to-date, state-
of-the-art, appropriate, unbiased, and free of any
unintended messages.
 How do we design
instructional materials?
Remember the
‘’ADDIE
Model’’
Analyze the needs of the learners.
A – Analyze Design the objectives.
D – Design Develop instructional materials.
D – Develop Implement through sessions.
I – Implement Evaluate the instructional materials.
E - Evaluate

Electronics
 comprises of radio, computer, e-mail,
and multimedia

Non-projected media
 include books and other printed
materials, objects, and specimens.

1.Help the educator deliver a message creatively and
clearly.
2.Assists learners in gaining & increasing awareness and
skills as well as retaining more effectively what they
learn.
3.Reinforce learning, and potentially bring realism to the
experience.

Why do we need to prepare instructional materials?

TAKE NOTE!
Instructional materials generally make the
teaching process easier.

In order to appreciate the importance of

instructional materials in the teaching-
learning process, consider the reasons for
using them.

Rhert Heinich – et al (2001)

They include to help:
1. Gain and hold the attention of the learner.
2. Provide visual aspects to a process or techniques.
3. Focus attention on highlight of key points.
4. Create impact.
5. Facilities the understanding of abstract
explanations.
6. Provide a common framework of experience to a large
number of learners.
7. Stimulate reality.
Selection and Preparation for
Effective Instructional Material
1. Choose the instructional material that
suited to your instructional objectives.
2. If possible, use a variety of tools.
3. Check out your instructional material
before class starts to be sure it is
working properly.
