Selection and preparation of instructional materials

1. SELECTION AND
PREPARATION OF
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

2. Guidance in the Selection of
Instructional Materials:
• Instructional media should follow, not
dictate learning activities
• Instructors must be thoroughly familiar with
the content of all media used in instruction
• The instructional media must be
appropriate to the teaching formats being
used.
• Instructors should select only instructional
media that are consistent with student
capabilities and learning styles.

3. Guidance in the Selection of
Instructional Materials:
• Instructional media should be chosen objectively
rather on the basis of the teachers’ personal
preference or bias.
• Instructional media should be chosen on the
basis of their contributions to the learning
outcomes.
• The physical conditions should be arranged to
enhanced results.
• Instructional materials produced locally by
instructor usually make significant contributions
to learning.
• No one medium is best for all purpose.
