General Principles
Choosing Instructional
Materials
Three Major Components of
Instructional Materials
Types of Instructional
Materials
Evaluation Criteria for
Selecting Materials
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
• The teacher must be familiar with media content
before a tool is used.
• Print and nonprint materials do change learner
behavior by influencing a gain in cognitive, affective,
or psychomotor skills.
• No one tool is better than another in enhancing
learning. The suitability of any particular medium
depends on many variables.
• The choice of media should be consistent with subject
content and match the tasks to be learned to assist
the learner in accomplishing predetermined
behavioral objectives.
• The instructional materials should reinforce and supplement
not substitute for the educator’s teaching efforts.
• Instructional aids should be appropriate for the physical
considerations and the learning environment, such as the
size and seating of the audience, acoustics, space, lighting,
and display hardware (delivery mechanisms) available.
• Media should complement the sensory abilities,
developmental stages, and educational level of the intended
audience.
• The message imparted by instructional materials must be
accurate, valid, authoritative, up-to-date, appropriate,
unbiased, and free of any unintended messages.
• The media should contribute meaningfully to the learning
situation by adding diversity and additional information.
CHOOSING INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS
To communicate messages
to learners by stimulating
the visual senses
and combining it
with the senses of touch,
sometimes even of smell
and taste. EXAMPLES
• Posters
• Diagrams • MODELS
• Illustrations Replicas
• Charts NON-PRINT
MEDIA Analogues
• Bulletin, flannel,
Symbols
chalk/white
boards
DISPLAYS • REAL
• Photographs
• Drawings EQUIPMENT
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
reality through active static, easily dated
engagement content
GUIDELINES:
In writing patient education materials
Content is accurate and up-to-date. Write in active voice
Logical, step-by-step fashion Use second person “you”
The information succinctly discusses the Build in reviews at the end of written
what, how, and when materials
KISS RULE Proper format (adequate spacing, correct
Avoid medical jargon capitalization)

Telecommunications
Learning Resource COMPUTER LEARNING RESOURCES
Telecommunications is a means by which use to improve teaching and learning with the
information can be transmitted via use of computer
electrical energy for teaching purposes
Ex:televisions and telephones
Advantages
•TV program distribution is relatively
inexpensiveto wide audiences ADVANTAGES
Telephone is relatively inexpensive, • Interactive potential promotes quick feedback
widely available complicated to set up • retention of learning
interactive capability expensive to • Potential database enormous time efficient
broadcast via satellite Disadvantages
telecommunications technology. • Both software and hardware are expensive,
DISADVANTAGES
•Complicated to set up interactive
capability •Expensive to broadcast via
satellite
•Always consider the learner, task, and
the media available
•Discenza (1993)
- selection of material to use is based
on its ability to meet the objective
-Evaluation of media involves evaluating
the ff:
• content
• instructional design
• technical production
• packaging
