Question

A teacher is planning to collect a variety of Teaching Learning Materials (TLM) for his class II students. Which one of the following is NOT a correct criterion for choosing TLMs?

The material chosen should provide adequate opportunities for the children to explore and experiment with curiosity.

The material chosen should be preferably locally made or locally available, as this would allow for easy replacement.

The material chosen should be made by the children only and have some roughness to avoid slipperiness.

The material chosen should be attractive and safe for children of this age group to use.

Solution

Correct option is C

The correct answer is The material chosen should be made by the children only and have some roughness to avoid slipperiness. This criterion is impractical for several reasons. First, expecting all materials to be made by children limits the quality and variety of educational tools that can enhance learning. Professional educational materials are designed based on pedagogical research and user safety standards, which might not be achievable with child-made materials. Additionally, the attribute of 'roughness' is specific and not universally applicable across different types of learning materials, making it an unsuitable criterion for general TLM selection.
