1. Disadvantages of the textbook method (Tutorial Letter 102/0/2022:57)
The learners are limited to one textbook per learner for EMS, as prescribed by the education
authorities.
Will encourage learners to used additional resources at home like internet, to get more
information.
The use of one prescribed textbook can lead to content driven instruction, which concentrates on
subject content and limits the critical thinking process.
Encourage learners to think outside the box, and relate the content to real life situations.
The concentration in textbooks on subject content and subject knowledge may lead to the exclusion
of the values and attitudes that are needed in a learner-centred approach.
The use of textbooks encourages rote learning whereas teachers are expected to move to an
approach where learners must understand and apply knowledge.
The use of a textbook can discourage new ways of teaching and thinking.
The first potion of the answer related to disadvantage and the second sented
related to how you would ellevaite the impact.
2. Teaching Media
a) Choosing teaching media (Tutorial Letter 102/0/2022:62)
The media teachers use should serve a specific purpose (e.g. the pin board is an effective
teaching medium in the EMS classroom for communicating information).
All the learners should be able to see the particular media (e.g. source documents).
The teacher should plan carefully in advance how he/she is going to use the media effectively in
the classroom so that valuable is not wasted. The media should slot into the flow of the lesson.
The teacher will be able to choose the right media only if he/she know and have absolute control
of the subject matter.
Give the learners a chance to react actively to the media. Ask questions to establish whether
they have acquired the desired insight (1985:147).
Think carefully about whether an aid will have any impact and, therefore, whether it is really
necessary.
Do not assume that your learners are familiar with visual media that occur in everyday life, for
example, a cheque stub (or other source documents). Learners often know nothing about things
related to business economics, simply because they are not exposed to them (Duminy &
Sohnge1985:148).
3. Advantages of teaching media (Tutorial Letter 102/0/2022:62)
Illustrate and cast light on difficult abstract concepts and relationships, help clarify complex
materials by breaking them into smaller segments that are easy to digest.
Media resources can be also used to engage learners and facilitate active learning strategies
which promote deeper learning.
Create interest, visual tools such as videos, which are easy way to communicate ideas quickly,
stimulate discussion among learners about content.
Promote motivation.
It illustrate the relevance of many concepts showing how they apply in various aspects of nature
and human society, media reinforce the power of the spoken word.
Using media engages learners, aids learners’ retention of knowledge, motivates interest of the
subject matter and illustrate the relevance of many concepts.
