Preparations For Curriculum Change, Orville Edgar Clough

Graduate Student Research Papers

Today is an era of rapid social and technical change and the schools are faced with the problem of keeping pace to meet the challenge. This means that education must rely more and more upon new methods and innovations. In this paper, these new techniques used in teaching shall be referred to as curriculum change. A curriculum change might occur in one specific learning area, or it could be a reorganization of the entire instructional program. The purpose of this study was (1) to find how needs for change are being justified; (2) to show how teachers are being prepared …

Video Tape Recording: What It Is And How It Can Be Used In The Schools, Donald Bryant Frankhauser

Graduate Student Research Papers

I feel the video tape recorder will have a very definite place in the schools. It will be one of our audiovisual aids, just as television, the 16mm. projector and others. It is a tool with unlimited possibilities and a great deal of flexibility. It is a device that can and will be used by teachers at all levels of teaching. It is not an instrument to take the place of the teacher, but, like all audiovisual equipment, is a tool to help the teacher do a more effective job.

This paper will attempt to show how proper supervision can lay a foundation for intelligent audio-visual instruction.

Techniques In Evaluating Instructional Television, James E. Rediske

Graduate Student Research Papers

Experiments have shown that television's potential as an important educational resource and tool is unlimited and, as yet, only the surface has been scratched. In fact, the realm of interaction has broadened through classroom viewing to the extent that a new and complete evaluation of the relationship between the student and teacher must be made.

The purpose of this paper will be to (1) identify and clarify the questions: who should evaluate, why should evaluation take place, how often should evaluation be conducted, and how should evaluation be achieved; and (2) provide sample questionnaire material from which evaluations could be …

The Use Of Timed Exposure Devices In Elementary School Teaching, Michael S. Mckinney

Graduate Student Research Papers

It was the purpose of this study to (1) explore the use of timed exposure devices for teaching in the elementary school, (2) determine the feasibility of using these devices (to what extent these devices could be used and how they could be used), and (3) determine what value they would have for use by an elementary school teacher.

A Survey Of Literature Pertaining To In Service Training Of Teachers In The Use Of Audio-Visual Materials And Equipment, Lewis E. Patton

Graduate Student Research Papers

The teacher trained more than ten years ago rarely had opportunities for audio-visual studies. Therefore, it is incumbent on the audio-visual director to provide such information for members of the teaching staff. It was the purpose of this research (1) to show the value of audio-visual aids in the learning process; (2) to determine common audiovisual materials and equipment used in the classroom; (3) to present the role of the audio-visual director in the inservice training program; and (4) to show the teacher's role in the program.

Possible Solutions To Certain Problems Arising In The Production Of School-Produced Motion Pictures, Harley G. Jones

Graduate Student Research Papers

The basic problem chosen for this study is "Possible Solutions to Certain Problems Arising in the Production of School-Produced Motion Pictures." Specific problems arise in any medium of expression, and it is wise to expect problems to arise when locally produced audio-visual aids in the form of motion pictures are considered by a school. The paper resulting from this study does not supply all of the answers to all of the problems, nor does it necessarily supply the best answers to any specific problem arising. Nevertheless, by posing some available solutions to certain of the problems, it provides assistance in …
