Audio-Visual Education Is Very Helpful For The Students

The pattern of offering education in schools has undergone a change. Students are no more dependent on their pens and papers. Most of the schools offer audio-visual education which seems to be taking over every other aspect. Audio-visual education involves the sense of sight and hearing to support learning. It improves the experience of learning. Motion pictures and visual support are used as a medium of instruction. Earlier when there were no moving pictures, it was limited to maps, graphs, textbook, illustrations, museum and field trips. Now it has not only covered the photographs but also the radio, television, computer and film industry as well.

Television is one of the strongest mediums from which children can learn a lot. The audio-visual media leave a strong impact on the minds of the people. It is based on the principle of persistent vision where the children do not forget what they see once. Even if they do not remember the thing in detail but somewhere it remains in the sub-conscious mind. When we watch a movie, the hangover remains at least for the next two days. The scenes remain there in our mind even after many years. In audio-visual education, students get a clear picture of the concept of their subject. When the subjects are described in books, many times students get confused to find out the theme of the subject.

But when they watch the same thing through audio-visual medium, they get a clearer picture of it. Many local schools are there in the United States who has their own film and videocassette libraries. In fact, audio-visual materials are used even in business, industry, and government to train the employee and also for informational purposes. The growth of educational television and computer programs has been proved as a prosperous concept of audiovisual education. In 1952 the first channel for public educational purposes was reserved by the Federal Communications Commission.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an independent agency that was responsible for the distribution and support of educational television programs was being set up by the Public Broadcasting Act (1967). Not only for children but also in regard of adults it has been proved that people are fascinated towards audio-visual medium and it leaves a strong impact on us. It has also been proved that children are more interested in this form of media and grasp things faster than through the other forms of media. This is the reason why these days’ children are more interested in computer than books.
