LESSON 8
Three Dimensional Instructional Materials
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Explain when to use three-dimensional materials
2. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of the different 3D instructional media.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA

 It displays an additional quality that appeals to the sense of touch – that is, a tactual quality.
 Their most important characteristic is their idea that they are to be handled by students to
further assist them in formulating more legitimate concepts about things.
 Three-dimensional materials are very useful in the event that real-life materials are
impossible to be brought in the classroom to provide students with certain amount of direct,
purposeful, rich, and meaningful learning experience in accordance with Dale’s “Cone of
Experience”.
OBJECTS and SPECIMENS
Object
 Are concrete materials such as plants, animals, tools and artifacts used in providing
direct experience.
Specimens
 Is a part of aspects of some items that is a typical sample
of characters of others in its same class or group.
 in biology, a specimen is an individual animal, part of an

animal, plant, parts of a plant, or Microorganism used
as representative to study the properties of the whole
population of that species or subspecies.
Points of Consider of Teaching

 Develop a purpose for using them.
 Provide opportunities ton learners to work with or to manipulate the specimens so
that they can consider concepts, process and principles by themselves.
 Present just enough specimens or object at a time so as not to overwhelm the
learner.
 Presents the materials in a dramatic way so as to arouse and sustain the interest
of the learners
Advantages
 These are less abstract and more concrete
 It attracts learners’ attention
 Learners become more familiar with objects
Limitation
 Needs bigger storage.
 Prone to possible damage.
 Some objects have limitation in availability and may not be easy to be found.
MODELS and MOCK-UPS
Models
 Are scaled replicas of real object.
 Show the totality of a thing or a process

Types:
1.Solid Models- are mainly used for recognizing external features as in the case of
globes and puppets
2. Cross-section Model/cut away Models- Show the internal

structures.
3.Constructional Model- which can be assembled and disassembled to show

relationship of parts to whole.
4.
Working Models-
indicates how the things
being represented
operates
Mock-ups
 Are special types of models which are focused
on a specific part of a whole object and are
workable.
 It is intended to show the essential parts which
are made detachable.
Advantages:
 Allow learners to examine models or mock-ups which may not be easy in the real
object
 Functional model/mock-ups allow learners to handle and operate
 After presentation, model can be left on display for a period of times and allows
learners display for a period of times and allows learners to independently study the
item at their own convenience
 Can provide learning experiences that real objects cannot provide.
 Working models can illustrate basic operations of a real device and provide important
details
When to use:
 When reality is too small.
 When reality is inaccessible (past and futuristic events):and when distance is
impossible to bridge.
 When reality is to dangerous (like viewing an erupting volcano)
 When reality is unreliable (weather and other climatic conditions).
 When reality is too abstract (face relationship,mathematics)
Disadvantages
 It may be more expensive that extra care is needed.
 Some models which are too big may be difficult to handle for the actual lecture.
 If models are built to scale. It could be time consuming.
 It might distort some real objects.
DIORAMA
 The term diorama is a Greek origin which means “to see through”.
 Diorama is a three-dimensional representation of events, ideas or concepts against a

scenic background.
 It is also known as a meaningful exhibit in boxes or cases, which are portable. It is a

miniature scene in three-dimensional treatment that is meant to replicate reality and
cause students to think creatively and aesthetically.
 A three dimensional representation of events, ideas or concepts against a scenic

Background.

 A miniature scene in 3D treatment that is meant to replicate reality and cause
students to think creatively
PUPPETS
 Puppets are artificial figures whose movements are controlled by a person.
 The person who operates them is called a puppeteer.
 Puppets are moved by hand or by strings, wires, or rods. Puppet figures are made to
represent a person, animal, plant, or an object.
 A puppet can become the medium through which the children express themselves, often
in role playing fashion. Puppets can assist the child in assuming the role of the character
that he is portraying
Types of Puppets
Shadow Puppets
 They are two-dimensional in nature, normally
controlled by rods that are much thinner than the
typical ones that are used to support the rod puppet.
This type of puppet makes use of a translucent
screen (rear-view screen) and light source for its
effective use.
Rod Puppets
 They are flat cut out figures tacked to a stick, with one or
more movable parts, and operated from below the stage
level by wire rods or slender sticks.
Hand Puppets
 This type of puppet is made to slip over the hand like a glove. The puppet’s head is
operated by the forefinger of the puppeteer, the little finger
and thumb are being used to animate the puppet hands.
Glove-and-
finger Puppets
 They make use of old gloves to which small
costumed figure are attached.
Marionettes
 These puppets are suspended and controlled by a
number of strings, plus sometimes a central rod
attached to a control bar held from above by the
puppeteer. The control bar can be either a
horizontal or vertical one. Basic strings for
operation are usually attached to the head, back,
hands (to control the arms) and just above the knee
(to control the legs). These are generally
constructed of wood with articulating joints that
replicate those of human beings. This form of
puppetry is complex and sophisticated to operate,
requiring greater manipulative control than a finger,
glove or rod puppet.
Advantages
 Boost active participation among students
 Stirring and attention-getting
 Fascination of the inanimate objects
 Enjoyable and spontaneous learning experience
 Students become more creative
Limitations
 Time consuming
 Expensive
 Demands extra effort
 Can compete with the teacher
Principles in Choosing Puppet Play for Teaching
 Do not use puppets for play that can be done just as well or better by another dramatic
means.
 Puppet play must be based on actions rather than words.
 Keep plays shorts.
 Do not omit the possibilities of music and dancing as part of the show.
 Adapt in all respect to your audience.
 Do not hesitate to adapt puppet play.
Assessment
Identify a topic in any elementary subjects where each three-dimensional material can
be used. Create an objective for each topic and explain thoroughly why each topic can be
thought effectively using the identified 3D material. Then, write the advantages and
disadvantages of the use of these materials focusing to the topics you choose and
objectives you created. Lastly, provide cut-out pictures of the 3D materials you are
planning to use for each subjects.
