Business-Sponsored Films For Physical Science, Bertha Elizabeth Slye

Masters Theses

For many years business-sponsored films have been used widely in instruction in the science classroom.

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."

Visual Aids In Education, Ernest L. Muzzall

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Three objections arc frequently made to the installation of moving-picture equipment in schools by teachers and school administrators. The first objection is that good materials are not available when needed. Secondly, teachers are not trained to use them. Thirdly, they are too expensive. The Central Washington College of Education at Ellensburg has recently established a library of 16-mm. sound films. These films, consisting of seventy-six titles, are being circulated among twelve school systems of the state on a subscription basis.
