Abstract
Teachers use various teaching-learning materials
(TLMs) during teaching. For example they use the
globe while explaining the earth; potatoes, knives
and protractors are used while drawing latitude
and longitude lines, teaching of counting is done
with the help of pebbles, mobile phones are used
to show a video of Tundra region etc. Here globes,
potatoes, knives, protractor, mobile phones and
pebbles are being used to clarify the topic. These
materials are helpful in the process of teaching and
learning. For example, when the children are told
about the earth being round and a globe is shown to
them in order to bring clarity to this concept, then
the globe is helping the teacher in explaining that
concept and the child is helped in understanding
the same. So the materials used during classroom
transactions in order to facilitate teaching-learning
process are called teaching-learning materials or
TLMs. It depends on the teacher and the topic.
It also depends on the teacher whether s/he uses
teaching-learning material in the class or not. If the
teacher does not use teaching-learning material in
the classroom at all then obviously s/he does not
face any challenge.
