INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Lecture 1Mrs. Draizelle Cruz - Sexon

Instructional Materials (I.M.)

• considered to be forms of communication

• must therefore be delivered in a manner that is equally effective for persons with disabilities

Communication is considered to be equally effective when it is:

• comparable in quality to those received by students without disabilities

• comparable in timeliness of delivery and availability

• provided in a manner and medium appropriate to the significance of the message and the abilities of the person receiving the material

• Thirty years ago, educators paid little attention to the work of cognitive scientists, and researchers in the nascent field of cognitive science worked far removed from classrooms.

• Today, cognitive researchers are spending more time working with teachers, testing and refining their theories in real classrooms where they can see how different settings and classroom interactions influence applications of their theories.

• In the 1950s and ’60s, developments in communications theory and systems concepts led to studies of the educational process, its elements, and their interrelationships.

• Among these elements are the teacher, the teaching methods, the information conveyed, the materials used, the student, and the student’s responses.

• As a result of these studies, the field of audiovisuals shifted its emphasis from devices and materials to the examination of the teaching-learning process.

• The field is now known as audiovisual communications and educational technology, and audiovisual materials were viewed as an integral part of the educational system.

Classroom teaching during the early

years would revolve around the “sage on

the stage.”

In this period, teachers were the ones who

would manipulate the discussion while the

students would just be listening to the lecture.

The teacher would really use much of his teaching time posting manila paper and cartolina strips on the

board.

The technique most commonly used was called the “chalk and

talk” technique.

This is called TRADITIONAL

TEACHING.

DIGITAL TEACHING

MARC PRENSKY(Digital Immigrants, Digital Natives) 2001

“Today’s students think and process information differently from their

predecessors.”

DR. BRUCE D. BERRY Baylor College of Medicine

“It is very likely that our students’ brains have physically changed --- and are different from ours --- as a result of how they grew up.”

MARC PRENSKY(Digital Immigrants, Digital Natives) 2001

“Our students have changed radically and that, today’s students are no

longer the people our educational

system was designed to

teach.”

Teaching the 21st century learners is not an easy task.

Methods must be applicable

for the learners.

Teachers must flex to the

needs of the learners.

Digital natives will not go backwards.

Essential Matters Presented:

Technology is very much needed in the classroom.

Technology is the pen and paper of the modern time.

Teachers must enrich themselves so they can keep

abreast with the students’ skills.

The schools are developing the technology used in classroom instruction.

Technology is a fast-paced system.

“Technology is just a tool. In terms

of getting the kids working together and motivating

them, the teacher is still the most

important.”

NANCY KASSEBAUMSenator, United States of America

“There can be infinite uses of the computer and of

new age technology, but if

the teachers themselves are

not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work,

then it fails.”

IAN JUKES

“If we want to understand the world of our students, we must be willing to immerse ourselves in their world. We must embrace the new digital reality. If the teachers can’t relate, if the teachers don’t get it, then we won’t be able to make schools relevant to the current and future needs of the digital generation.”

TRADITIONAL IS NOT

DIGITAL.

NIGEL WILLETTSICT Educator

“ When faced with a steam-rolling technology, you either become part of the technology or part of the road.”
