Regulation
Instruction
Resource/Audiovisual
Materials
- Media used in school should be
used as an instructional material.
- The value of instructional
media in the classroom is dependent largely on wise selection and usage.
- Audio visual materials should
be previewed by making sure they are suitable for instruction, and in
determining which points need emphasis or clarification.
- Many excellent, free and
inexpensive audio visual materials are available to teachers for
instructional use. It is
recommended that free media be used when possible.
- Since children have wide
experience with films as entertainment media on TV and in commercial
“movies”, video and audio materials used during school hours should be
used to discover answers to questions previously raised, to gain
information, and to clarify understandings.
- Media should not be shown
“cold.” Children should be guided
toward things to look for because they need some focus for viewing.
- There should be discussion
before viewing and discussion following viewing.
- There should be a definite plan
of evaluation.
