Provides solutions to the problems of recording the progress of individuals and providing a comprehensive report to the parent. Poses problems on microscope projection, electronic components in junior science, and innovative science projects throughout Australia. (GS)

This document consists of supplemental information designed to accompany a presentation on the application of projection technology, including video projectors and liquid crystal display (LCD) devices, in the online catalog library instruction program at the Indiana State University libraries. Following an introductory letter, the packet includes:…

Two classes of college students -- one an "Introduction to Teaching" class and the other an "Audiovisual Materials and Methods" class -- were taught using as aids the chalkboard, instructional films, the bulletin board, tape recordings, and overhead transparencies; students rated their attitudes towards each of the five aids.

This document is one in a series of reports which reviews instructional materials and equipment and offers suggestions about how to select equipment. Topics discussed include: (1) the general criteria for audio-visual equipment selection such as performance, safety, comparability, sturdiness and repairability; and (2) specific equipment criteria…

Over the last few years, a variety of fully integrated sound-slide projectors has been introduced to the market, and most of these are suited to educational and training use. Models included in EPIE's testing program met the basic criteria of (1) using standard 35mm slides and compact cassette tape; (2) having automatic synchronization between…

THE AUDITORIUM TEACHING FACILITY DISCUSSED IN THIS BROCHURE IS DESIGNED PRIMARILY TO FILL THE NEED FOR LECTURE FACILITIES FOR GROUPS OF STUDENTS UP TO 300. REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCH A FACILITY ARE LISTED AS LARGE SEATING CAPACITY, EASY ACCESS AND CIRCULATION FOR STUDENTS, MODIFICATION, DIVISIBILITY, AND CONFIGURATION. FLOOR PLANS AND A LIST OF…

THREE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY WERE EVALUATED. AN ANALYSIS WAS MADE OF (1) THE ACHIEVEMENT OF 176 STUDENTS TAUGHT BY THE MULTIVIEW PROJECTION METHOD, (2) 172 STUDENTS TAUGHT BY THE PICTURE METHOD PLUS MULTIVIEW PROJECTION, AND (3) 188 STUDENTS TAUGHT BY THE FIRST TWO METHODS AND ANIMATED FILMS. THE BASES FOR ANALYSIS WERE…

THE PAPER DISCUSSES AND CITES EXAMPLES OF INNOVATIONS IN EDUCATION AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. FOLDING AND MOVABLE WALLS CAN NOW ACCOMMODATE SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE GROUPS. ATTRACTIVE ECONOMICS CAN BE GAINED BY LARGE GROUP INSTRUCTION. RECENTLY ETV, DIAL ACCESS, OTHER MEDIA, AND COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION HAVE CHALLENGED LARGE GROUP…

Teachers can improve classroom procedure by producing and showing their own 8mm films, while building a library of effective teaching aids. These motion pictures are conceived as intrinsic parts of a teaching plan, and are designed to explain a single idea or concept. Single-concept or specific-objective films generate a high degree of student…

Audiovisual instruction has become a necessary part of good teaching. This monograph separates the experiences and devices of audiovisual materials into three categories: nonprojected, projected, and audio materials and equipment. The design of schools for the use of such materials, the importance of audiovisual research, and the administration of…

A new and dynamic approach to auditorium stage design is presented. Contents include--(1) modified proscenium stage plan--a definition, (2) benefits of a modified proscenium stage plan, and (3) details of a modified proscenium stage plan--basic concepts, a typical layout, projection systems, and scenic design for space stage.

The author describes the many techniques used to produce cinematic effects that would be too costly, too difficult, too time-consuming, too dangerous, or simply impossible to achieve with conventional photographic techniques. He points out that these techniques are available not only for 35 millimeter work but also to the 16 mm. photographer who…

Instruction of large groups of students in the use of audiovisual (AV) equipment presents a problem when the students' performance can only be evaluated by individual examinations on actual equipment. An attempt was made, therefore, to develop an objective, paper-and-pencil test which would provide the same evaluation. Although students in a basic…

This second of two articles on the physical environment of a training room discusses equipping a meeting room. It covers light fixtures, audio and speaker systems, heating and ventilation, and visual projection units. (EM)

Discusses the use of a simple apparatus to measure contact angles between a liquid drop and a solid surface which are determining factors of wettability. Included are examples of applying this technique to various experimental situations. (CC)
