Here's the question bank on all the evs pedagogy topics.
Which one of the following is type/types of learning material?I. Visual contentII. TactileIII. Information and communication technologyIV. Using the surrounding environment
To bring quality to the classroom, the teacher requires materials to support learning. Any child would fully participate in the learning process if a variety of materials are used.Visual material in the form of pictures or photographs has to be used where ever appropriate to support the learning. A picture of seahorse or Tajmahal would convey much more to a child than words. Pictures of great personalities, pictures of rare animals and plants, photographs of historical places and events help children imagine in the right direction.Tactual materials in the form of real objects or models make the concept very clear. No amount of lecture and not any picture would explain the structure of a prism as effectively as a model. Internal organs, three-dimensional geometric figures are best understood with models. Tactual materials could be the real items if they are available easily like a hibiscus flower to explain about structure of a flower, the real mango to explain the qualities of the king of fruits!Our surrounding environment is so rich in learning materials. Concepts like herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers and creepers can be made clear with the plants around us. An exposure to the post office, bank and clinic would clarify how the people working there help us.Demonstrating experiments with readily available things from our surroundings is another way of making the children learn. A transparent plastic cover and a piece of thread can be used to show transpiration through leaves. Waste cards can be used very effectively to demonstrate the derivation of the theorems and formulae for the areas of geometric figures.Information and communication technology gives endless options to make use of electronic learning materials. We can compensate for bringing real objects to the classroom if we know how to use the computer. In all the schools, the prism may not be there. But we can show the three-dimensional picture of a prism with movements to show the figure from all sides. The complicated process of food getting digested inside the body can be shown through computer multimedia. The electrons participating in different types of chemical bonding can be shown through a demonstration using auditory, visual and print media by taking assistance from the computer.Teacher made low-cost learning materials are the best to use in teaching. It is nothing but making use of the unwanted or readily available raw materials in our surrounding. Hence, we conclude that all are types of learning material.
