Introduction

Environmental resources are used in a learning environment to help

and assist with people’s development and learning. They are designed to

reinforce learning and in some cases allow people to put their knowledge to

the test. Educational resoures are brilliant for teachers and educators to help

them deliver the best quality lessons.


Meaning of Educational resources

Teaching Learning resources/ Educational resources are

materials that are used by the teachers in imparting information

in terms of academic subjects and concepts to the students. In

the present context the use of technologies and internet has

acquired prominence.
Defining Educational Resources

Educational resources are any person, material, situation and

experience organized, or created, to help the student or learner learn

activity and attain the objectives of instruction. Anything which

facilitates student learning is called a resource. The resources may be

used by teachers, students or both during instructions so as to

maximize the attainment of instructional objectives.


Types of Resources

The resources available in the resource centre are of two

types.

1) Print- based resources

2) Non- print- based resources


Print based resources

There are mainly of five types

1) Reference books and manuals

2) Textbooks

3) Periodicals, technical and professional magazines

4) Journals collection

5) Instructional material
Reference books and manuals

 These are usually expensive resources the learners refer to when

working in the resource centre.

 Normally two or three copies of each volume are kept, according to the

users’ likely demand.

 These books and manuals must not be taken out of resource centre.
Textbooks
 It is essential that course related standard textbooks, frequently refered to
and used during training, are always available.

 To ensure this, some copies of textbooks should be kept in the reference


section.

 These are always available there and these are not taken out of the
resource centre.

 Textbooks should also be available for loan.


Periodicals,Technical and Professional
magazines and journals
 Magazines are published for the public at large and also for school age
children.

 A few important applications of newspapers in teaching learning are: current


events study and analysis, study of local, practice in the reading and visual
and pictorial support to classroom work.

 These are instructional resources which learners refer for state of the art
information.

 Though quite expensive, these are of much use to both teachers and learners.
Collections
 These consist of a variety of materials, sometimes under subject headings
and sometimes kept loose.

 Collections include newspaper cuttings, cut- out from magazines and


commercially bought packs, photographs, extracts from the work of
previous learners, diagrams, graphs, and other types of written and graphic
materials.

 Collections can be made by both the teacher and learner.

 The learner can motivate the teacher to collect.


Instructional materials

 These include self- instructional materials because learners can use them

independently during the process of instruction.

 Various types of self- instructional materials are available in the market.

 These are programmed learning texts, semi- programmed learning

modules, capsules, etc.


Non- print based resources

 Non- print based resources include audio-visual equipment which

can be classified under audio, still image projection, moving image

projection and other categories.

 Audio equipment consists of audio tape player, audio cassette player

with headphones, audio variable speed playback, and recorder,

record players stereo, and radio.


 Audio- visual equipment resources include video cameras portable,

16mm camera optional, 8mm camera optional, still cameras with

varying functions, lighting units, projection screens, tripods, video

monitors and computers with as well as without multimedia facilities.

 Audio- video equipment can be used by teachers as well as learners.


Conclusion

Any learning resource the teacher uses in the classroom to make

learning much more engaging is known as a classroom resource. Every

classroom should be converted into a resource room where the teacher

has to do less work and play a more passive role, while the students take

more and more responsibility on their part, taking up a more active part

in their education and using all the resources provided to them to their

advantage and grow their full potential.
