The Chinese word 教材 (jiàocái) is a compound of two characters: 教 (jiào), meaning "to teach" or "education", and 材 (cái), meaning "material" or "resource". Together, these characters form the term "teaching material", which refers to any resource or material used in the process of teaching and learning. 教材 can include textbooks, workbooks, audio-visual aids, online resources, and any other materials that support the delivery of educational content. The term is commonly used in the context of formal education, such as schools and universities, but can also be applied to informal learning settings.
