Question 1
“Learner support materials have to be carefully selected by the teacher for use in
a lesson.”
Write an essay (approximately two (2) pages) in which you critically discuss this
statement.
Learner support materials have to be carefully selected by the teacher for use in a lesson.
As a Life Skills teacher, you can use various teaching tools to supplement the learning
materials you use in your classroom. A lot of material is available without cost. For

the material, you must examine it carefully before using it with your learners. Some items
will turn out to be useless and others so overladen with bias that they are impossible to
use.
Visual teaching support materials are not always chosen wisely or us effectively. When
well used, these materials can be a medium for awakening thoughts and interest.
However, when poorly used, it can be a source of less excitement. Pictures, charts,
flannel boards, and similar displays make the difference between learners’ understanding
and not understanding. Visual material can be an excellent base for building interesting,
high order learning activities (discussion, inquiry, research activities) that can improve
critical thinking and other higher mental processes. The effectiveness of these materials
depends on the willingness of a teacher to enhance his/her teaching. The effective
teacher will make the inquiry about audio-visual materials and expend the effort needed
to implement them well for the benefit of the class.
Care must be taken in the selection of an audio-visual material for use in the classroom.
A poor selection and inappropriate material can turn what was supposed to be an
excellent lesson into a disappointing failure. A material that projects unclear sound, which
presents obscure or shaky images or that is too profound will certainly not be met with a
delighted response from the class.The same applies to the material that is too difficult to
