QUESTION 1: (38)
Learning and teaching support materials / resources (LTSM) provide the structure
for teaching within which learners explore, experiment, plan and make decisions for
themselves, thus enabling them to learn, develop and make good progress.
1.1 Briefly provide the importance of resources and complete the following table
to emphasise the structure LTSM provide for teaching and learning.
(10)
The importance of learning and teaching support materials (LTSM) lies in their ability to provide
structure for teaching, enabling learners to explore, experiment, plan, and make decisions for
themselves. These resources play a crucial role in facilitating learning, development, and
progress. They can enhance teaching by providing visual aids, hands-on activities, and
interactive materials that cater to different learning styles and abilities, making learning more
engaging and effective.
A brief explanation of the resources (1)
Learning and teaching support materials (LTSM) encompass a wide range of
resources that support teaching and learning processes. These resources
include textbooks, workbooks, visual aids, manipulatives, digital resources,
and more. They are designed to provide structure and enhance the learning
experience by offering different ways for learners to engage with the
content. For example, visual aids like posters and charts can make abstract
concepts more concrete, while manipulatives like blocks or beads can help
students understand mathematical concepts through hands-on exploration.
Digital resources, such as educational apps and websites, offer interactive
learning experiences that cater to different learning styles and preferences.
Overall, LTSM are essential tools that help educators create dynamic and
effective learning environments.
