Audio-Visual Aids Replacing Tools Of Yesterday in Nation's Schools
New York -flJPD- Th Ameri
can teacher unlll recently
was the only professional per
on required to work with
yesterday's tools books,
blackboard, chalk.
The Implement armament
now Is catching up with the
communications' revolution
0 the last BO years.
Educators call the academic
additions audio-visual aids
films, language laboratories,
closed-circuit and broadcast
television, slides and teaching
machines, for example.
The electronics aaauions
are meant to give Junior and
Janie the best chance to learn
the most and most effici
ently.
A report in "The Nation's
Schools," a journel for school
administrators, hails the
swing to audio-visuals and
bids it full steam.
Held Non-Eiiential
Don- White, executive vice
president of the national au
dlo-visual association, one of
the experts reporting on the
"revolution," recalled five
years ago at the White House
conference on education such
tools were regarded as non
essentials . . .In the same class
as swimming pools.
"The next decade," he said,
"will see more materials of
every type more readily avail
able and on every, subject
in the curriculum. '
''Equipment will be simp
ler to operate, easier to tran
sport, and designed for eas
ier' maintenance. New items
of equipment, some not yet
conceived, some now on the
drawing boards, will become
reality."
White said ten yoara ago,
educatidnal TV was little
more than a dream in the
minds, of forward-looking ed
ucators. Now it is an every
day teaching tool.
And! only three years ago,
you . could count on the fin
gers of one hand the language
laboratories in s e c o n dary
schools.
Now a whole new way of
teaching languages has been
developed by language teach
ers, In cooperation with equip
ment manufacturers. Thous
ands of language laboratories
now are in use, with thous
ands more on the way.
Trnmendoua Value
White said the teaching
machine a kind of tutorial
robot is a tool of tremen
dous value.
But he cautioned that teach
ing machine manufacturers
and experts are urging that
adequate time be allowed for
an experimental period be
fore teaching machines are
rushed into production.
in theory, any subject that
can be verbalized can be pro
grammed for a teaching ma
chine. Right now such sub
jects as mathematics and the
sciences are more easily pro
grammed since they must be
taught in a readily identified
sequence.
"To some extent," White
said, "language laboratories
suffered from being rushed
into volume production, and
sales were made before man
ufacturers were completely
ready with finished and test
ed designs. This same thing
can happen to teaching ma
chines but its effects can
be worse."
Other tools in the teacher's
audio-visual stockpile:
The opaque projector
directly projects anything
from a postage stamp to a
magazine page. More than
90 per cent of all printed
or written materials can be
projected by means of this
device. It's used in a room
with subdued lighting so stu
dents can take notes.
Large Transparencies
Overhead p r o j e c tors
show large transparencies
and can be operated by the
teacher at the front of the
room. Thus, the visual ana
oral elements of a lesson can
be correlated.
Filmstrip projectors with
sound track present an audio
visual program with the push
of a button.
Magnetic sound projec
tors make it possible for the
teacher to produce his own
motion pictures or to add a
special sound track to tailor
a particular film to spicial
needs.
There's only one hitch to
the audio-visual tidal wava
sweeping on the nation's
schools. Few of the teachers
are electrical engineers
or very mechanically inclin
ed. The equipment requires
servicing.
White said the industry
has faced up to this problem
by establishing a nationwida
network of specialized deal
ers who provide electronic
and mechanical service.
