Module

One of the most widely accepted instructional materials is the learning module. It is a self-learning kit which usually consists of a package of learning activities, usually papers that have to be accomplished by the student. Preparing a module is not an easy task. But these instructional materials have many advantages for teachers and students. For students, these are: they work at their own pace, they assume responsibility for learning, they find that textbooks are not the only source of learning, they know exactly what they have to learn, they are encouraged to master the module and competition for grade is reduced. For teachers, they have time to pay attention to individual learning problems, they can identify problem earlier, they are free to serve as resource persons, to answer questions, and to help those who need help and there is better cooperation between teachers and students.
