Factors to consider when selecting additional/supplementary materials to be used in education

Factors to consider when selecting additional/supplementary materials to be used in education

Answers

Faith
When selecting material to act as a supplementary, the following need to be considered:
1) The content is pertinent to the individual objectives of the course(s) in which it is to be used. Only those instructional materials, which contribute towards the achievement of the behavioral objectives of the course, should be involved in the instructional program.

2) The content is up to date and closely correlated with that of the textbook(s) with which it is to use. The teacher must ensure that the subject matter is correct, that the procedure and terminology are in accord with the current accepted practice and that the content level of the set selected does not exceed the point of instruction at which the student(s) is working. The visual component must be attractively formatted, easily readable and void of racism and sexism.
3) The time required for effective utilization can be accommodated within the instructional program.

4) The cost is consistent with the financial resources available. Regardless of how valuable a particular item of supplementary material might be to the teaching-learning process, it might be too expensive in certain situations and thus inappropriate for selection.
