Correct Answer - Option 3 : Optimizing learning outcomes of students.

  • Teaching aids are tools, which are used by teachers to help learners to learn concepts with ease and efficiency.
  • Teaching aids have been in existence in our educational system since ancient times.
  • The role of teaching aids in the classroom is to make learning real, practical, and fun for children.
  • Teachers use of teaching aids to illustrate or reinforce a skill, fact, or idea.
  • Teaching aids also help in bringing novelty and freshness in classroom teaching as it relieves learners from anxiety, fear, and boredom. 
  • The main purpose of teaching aids is to optimize the learning outcomes of students. 
  • Learning outcomes are highly dependent on the learning experience given in the classroom using teaching-learning materials.  
  • A teacher uses it to make teaching-learning effective.
  • It also helps learners achieve learning outcomes after classroom teaching and learning.  

Some of the reasons to use teaching aids in the classroom are of various types as described below:

  • Motivate learners – Capturing attention is the first step to any learning and TLMs help in capturing the attention of learners in the classroom. Once motivated to look at TLMs, the children are curious to learn new things. TLMs provide a variety of stimuli, which helps in making classroom teaching most effective.
  • Help in longer retention of information – The more the number of sensory channels involved in interacting with TLMs, the longer will be the retention of information. Therefore, the learning will be effective and will last long.
  • Facilitate holistic learning – Learning objectives to be achieved through classroom teaching is in all domains- cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Therefore, to achieve varied objectives, varied learning experiences need to be provided, which can be done through the use of TLMs.
  • Help in organizing classroom teaching –As a teacher you need to organize learning experiences, making them as realistic as possible. You can use visual or verbal TLMs to present accurate data in a sequentially organized manner. This helps the teacher to verbal and visual communication in the classroom. Thus, you may use TLMs to overcome shortcomings in verbal or visual communication.
