Teaching material

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a teaching aid all tangible and intangible facilities in are schools called that for participation in and implementation of education are needed. A distinction must be made between learning and teaching aids.

Learning materials are things that are required by the students for individual participation in the class. This includes school books ( teaching medium ) as well as all learning materials that you carry with you within your personal limits. These are in particular pocket calculators , exercise books, writing implements , drawing implements and compasses .

Teaching materials remain in the inventory of the school facility and are used by the teaching staff for teaching purposes. These include, for example, preparations, displays, measuring and demonstration devices for science lessons, software or its licenses (teaching medium), chemicals , optical aids such as microscopes and tools for technical and technical teaching. In a broader sense, interactive whiteboards can also be included in this. In Germany the teaching materials are to be financed by the school authority.

In Austria , the term teaching aids according to Section 14 of the School Teaching Act refers to all aids that are used to support or manage sub-tasks of the lesson and to secure the income from the lessons. The school maintainer must ensure that the equipment is appropriate to the needs. This generic term also includes reading materials and work equipment that the students are to be provided with by the decision of the respective teacher.

The generic term used in German-speaking Switzerland and in the Principality of Liechtenstein is teaching material. According to the definition of the Intercantonal Lehrmittelzentrale (ilz), it is “teaching, learning and working materials in analogue and digital form that concretise skills and learning content and doactically prepare them for teaching”. In western Switzerland and Ticino, the analogous term is moyens scolaires (German: "school supplies"). The relevant legal regulations can be found in the cantonal elementary school laws on the basis of the HarmoS Concordat , which establishes the canton's sovereignty over teaching materials.
