TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS (TLMs) 5/28/2025 1
TML EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this unit, learners should be able to: differentiate between teaching and learning materials. justify the purpose and importance of teaching and learning materials. identify the different types of teaching and learning materials. develop strategies for the effective use of teaching and learning materials. 5/28/2025 2
TLM Activity 1 Explain the difference between teaching and learning materials. Give examples of teaching and learning materials. Do this in group. 5/28/2025 3
TLM Teaching materials are the aids used by the teacher to help him/her in teaching his/her lesson effectively. Learning materials are the aids used by the learner/trainee to help him/her learn effectively. Both teaching and learning materials can be big or small. The teaching and learning materials can be bought or made easily by both the teachers and learner. 5/28/2025 4
PURPOSE AND IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS Activity 2 What do you think is the purpose of teaching and learning materials? What would be the disadvantages of not using teaching and learning materials in the classroom situation? Do this group. 5/28/2025 5
TML TLMs can be found locally and are, therefore, cheap. TLMs are usually easy to carry (i.e. portable). TLMs should be simple and adaptable to the local situation/conditions. TLMs enable everyone in a classroom situation to participate actively. TLMs help trainees to relate what is being taught to real life situations. 5/28/2025 6
TYPES OF TLM The following are some examples of TLMs: Maps Charts Diagrams Teacher guide Books Overhead projectors/transparencies TV and Videos Slide projectors Blackboards/chalkboards/flip charts Chalk/ felt pens/markers Computer 5/28/2025 7
Types There are many different types of teaching and learning materials that can be used by both the teacher and the trainee/learner. Many of these can be found locally. Some are expensive (Like computer) while others are relatively cheap and can be produced by the learner themselves 5/28/2025 8
Things to Consider in Improvising Teaching/Learning Materials Before you prepare the teaching/learning materials, you need to identify and determine the teaching situation you have on the ground. However, in improvising effective teaching/learning materials appropriate to the classroom teaching activities, require skills and competences. 5/28/2025 9
Cont.. The following aspects must be considered Level of the learners Topic you want to teach Kind of teaching/ learning aid you want to develop (e.g. model or chart) Materials needed to improvise your aid 5/28/2025 10
ACTIVITY Using role play show how a learner might use TLMs in a classroom situation effectively. Discuss the strategies for the effective use of teaching and learning materials. 5/28/2025 11
TESTING EFFECTIVENESS AND USEFULNESS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS Activity 3: In groups, using role play, deliver a lesson without any teaching and learning materials. Observe the response from the rest of the members of the group In the same groups, deliver a lesson using TLMs of your choice. Observe the response from the rest of the members of the group. Which method helped the members of your group to understand the lesson better? Would you use this method often? How would you improve on it? 5/28/2025 12
A lesson delivered without teaching and learning aids can be boring to the trainees. TLMs encourage nearly everyone (i.e. trainees) to participate. TLMs make lessons enjoyable and memorable. 5/28/2025 13
