Guidelines in Selecting and Preparing Instructional Materials

a.) Make sure the materials support learning objectives:

Appropriateness- When you make instructional materials, they should be timely and up to
date. It has to be relevant to the particular lesson most especially to the pressing needs,
problems, and experiences of the people and the society

b.) Make the materials clear and accessible:

Durability- Whatever materials are to be used, the goal is to be able to make these
materials last so that they can be still taken advantage of in the future.

Easy to handle- Your instructional materials should be light and easy to operate. It should
be easy to put up and eventually store for future use.

Economy- The material should be worth its cost. The cheaper, the better. Make use of
whatever materials or resources one has at his or her home.

c.) Take into consideration individual needs and learning styles:

Dimension- The size of the instructional materials, especially ones mounted on the board
should not be too big or too wide so that all your IMS’s can be seen by your students. For
the font size of your text in cartolina or manila paper, it should be big enough to be seen by
the students situated at the back of the classroom.

Novelty- The material should stir uop curiosity as well as the sense of discovery among the
students by creating an element of newness.

Color- Instructional materials should be colorful as much as possible because students get
attracted to bright and dark colors most especially the visual learners. It is also important to
consider the choice of colors to facilitate understanding.

There are different guidelines in selecting instructional materials. According to


Calisle(2013), in selecting and preparing instructional materials, the teacher should first
ensure if the materials fit the objectives of the course, unit plan, and the lesson plan, so that
the lesson will be in track of what the teacher will teach, it should be well-organized and the
basic concepts and ideas relate to each other, which will be helpful for the teacher not to be
confused of what to use in teaching lessons, another is, the materials should also be
presented in a technically appropriate manner and provide sufficient examples, illustrations,
questions, and summaries to enhance understanding of the content and is readable by the
students, to avoid ambiguity of the topic or subject matter. Moreover, the difficulty of the
materials should match the abilities of the students, because students have different levels
of understanding and abilities, so, the teacher must provide the materials that suffice their
needs of learning.
