The Role of Teaching and Learning Aids/Methods in a Changing World
Ordu, Uchechi Bel-Ann
Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, Paper presented at the Annual International Conference of the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society (BCES) (19th, Sofia, Bulgaria, Jun 2021)
The activity and method of teaching and learning identifies the input factors (students, teachers, instructional materials), the process (research, leadership, student services), and the output factors (employable graduates, knowledge creation and economic growth). Teaching and learning activity is also seen in the skills, attitudes and research orientation of the students. Negative physical and social conditions may affect the quality of effective teaching and learning. It is important that an enabling environment be put in place for effective teaching and learning skills. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of teachers to be sufficiently trained on the use of teaching aids, and have full understanding of their subject in order to pass on the right knowledge to students. The use of pictures, video clips, objects, internet facilities help the students to have a real-life imagination of the context of what is being taught. This leads to the reinforcement of learning: what we hear we forget; what we see we remember; what we do we understand. Motivations for transforming 21st century learning are the lack of preparation for life and work, emerging student characteristics, disengagement and high dropout rates, lack of motivation, the changing conditions and needs of the 21st century labour market, and global scenarios like economic and social crises, global diversity, and climate change. By effectively delivering knowledge content, students acquire transferable skills to be globally competent, think out of the box, and have an intelligent understanding of the complexity of technology.
