TEACHING AIDS and
SCIENCE APPARATUS
WEEK 9 CPD
What are Teaching Aids and what
are they for?
• Teaching aids are objects, classroom artifacts or equipment that have
• specially been made to help a teacher to present his lesson to learners in an
effective manner. Any device, material or source used by teachers to clarify,
describe or explain a topic to pupils better in a classroom, to facilitate effective
communication and understanding for children and significantly increase
classroom interaction are known as teaching aids.
• Learning aids on one hand are equipment, tools and devices that aid learners in
their learning and development process to be able to meet the expectations of
the pupils but not the teachers.
• natural objects or constructed objects, models, instruments, graphic and other
selected materials which can be used as resource, help, encouragement or
evidence in the process of learning
The roles of teaching aids
The importance of teaching aids materials in the teaching and
learning process cannot be over emphasized:
• Basing learning in sense experience.
• Extending Experience.
• Encouraging Participation.
• Stimulating Interest.
• Individualized Instruction.
• Serve as a Source of Information.
• Making Learning Permanent.
• Clear emphasis.
Types of Teaching Aids
• Aids that help pupils through the ear or auditory. In this category we
have aids like radio and phonograph or (tape-recorder).
• Aids through the eye or visual: In this category there are motion
pictures, stereotypes, the camera, the chalk board, apparatus, pictorial
materials and representations such as maps, globes, diagrams, etc.
• The third category is that of aids through the eye and ear (audio-visual).
Here we find sound-motion pictures and television.
• Aids through Activity. This covers school trips, objects, and specimen
and sample collections and then
• miscellaneous and in this group we have, booklets magazines and
newspapers.
The selection and use of Teaching
Aids/Apparatus
• Many of these aids/apparatus undoubtedly help to make the teaching of science
more effective and efficient, but sometimes such are bought without a critical
appraisal of their limitation and without sufficient awareness of how and when to
use them. This lack of forethought can lead to a waste of money and valuable
teaching time.
• some factors that should influence the selection of Teaching aids/ apparatus:
• content appropriateness, learner characteristics, attitudes and skill levels for pupils,
course learning objectives, learning relationships, location of time (synchronous
versus asynchronous) and teaching aids usefulness Level.
• however we can distill these factors further to three only,
• namely:
• Practicality: This means that a teacher should ask himself a question- Is the teaching
aid Or apparatus available, cost efficient, time efficient and understood by a teacher?
Cont...
• Student Appropriateness: At this stage, the teacher asks
himself a question: Is the intended teaching aids/ apparatus
appropriate for the developmental and experiential levels of
pupils?
• Instructional Appropriateness: The teacher at this level is
concerned with instructions the teaching aid or apparatus
will provide to pupils and so his questions will be; Is the
intended teaching aid Or apparatus appropriate for the
planned strategy? Will the teaching aid allow for the
presentation of the proposed lesson in an efficient and
effective manner? Will the teaching aid facilitate the pupils’
attainment of the specific learning objectives?
NOTE!!
• In any case, the aid should help the teacher; the
teacher should not become the assistant to the
teaching aid. The aid must be used only when it can
be useful and not merely to justify why it was
bought or made. The aid must be chosen because it
can help a particular teaching situation instead of a
particular teaching situation being chosen because
it can be helped by a particular teaching aid.
Conclusion
• Science is a practical phenomenon.
• Therefore,Teaching science without a teaching aid
or using apparatus is cheating and therefore,
teachers Of science should accompany their
teaching with a teaching aid or apparatus.
