DESIGNING AND USING INTELLIGENCE AND MEMORY ACTIVATING BOXES (IMABs) AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CLASSROOMS AND LABORATORIES
Keywords:
Intelligence, Memory, activating, individualized/cooperative learning, etcAbstract
The paper explains what Intelligence and Memory Activating Box is
(IMAB) and opines that several of such boxes can be employed as Academic Learning
Materials (ALMs) buy teachers during their teaching to deliver effective lessons to
learners at the primary and secondary levels (Grades 1- 12 levels) who should in turn
utilize them to study/learn. These boxes can be designed and utilized by teachers and
learners alike to provoke interests and motivated to perform well and achieve better in
their academic endeavours. The paper also outlined steps for the preparation of lessons
that can be used to feed concept envelops and cards into several of such boxes and
went on to outlined steps on how the different IMABs can be designed. It also pointed
out how such ALMs should be used by teachers and learners alike.
