Preparation and Use of Teaching-Learning Material During Teaching :
Teaching-learning materials (TLMs) are tools used by teachers to make learning easier and more interesting. These materials include objects, people, and resources—both living and non-living. They are also called instructional materials or teaching aids.
The main aim of using TLMs is to create interest among students, improve teaching skills, and provide education based on students’ abilities. These materials make difficult topics easy to understand and turn boring lessons into enjoyable ones.
TLMs help students to focus better, develop study habits, and remember concepts for a longer time. Teachers save time and energy by using visual items like pictures, charts, and models. These materials also provide real-life experiences and improve students’ motor skills through active participation. They encourage students to think scientifically and logically.
Teaching aids are divided into different types:
1. Audio Aids – like radio, tape recorder.
2. Visual Aids – like books, maps, charts.
3. Audio-Visual Aids – like TV, video lessons.
4. Activity Aids – like role play, field trips.
They can also be classified by technology (hardware/software) or projection method (projected, non-projected, activity-based).
Using the right TLMs helps both teachers and students to enjoy the teaching-learning process more effectively.
