2. ABSTRACTION:
The film , the video and the tv are indeed very powerful . Dale
(1969) says, they can:
•transmit a wide range of audio.
•Bring models of excellent to the viewer.
•Bring the world of reality to the home and to the classroom through
a “live” broadcast or as mediated through film or videotape.
•Make us see and hear for ourselves world events as they happen.
•Be the most believable news source.
3. •make some programs understandable
and appealing to a wide variety of age
and educational levels.
become a great equalizer of educational
opportunity because programs can be
presented over national and regional
networks.
4. Provide us with sounds and sights not easily
available even to the viewer of a real event
through long shots, close ups, zoom shots,
magnification and split screen made
possible by the tv camera.
Can give opportunity to teachers to view
themselves while they teach for purpose of
self-improvement.
Can be both instructive and enjoyable.
5. While the film, video and tv can do so much,
they have their own limitations, too.
Television and film are one-way communication
device consequently, they encourage passivity.
The small screen size puts television at a
disadvantage when compared with the possible
size projected motion pictures.
Excessive tv viewing works against the
development of the child’s ability to visualize and
to be creative and imaginative, skills that are
needed in problem solving.
There is much violence in tv.
7. For enrichment of the lesson with the use
of tv, we have to do the following”
Prepare the classroom.
-Darken the room.
-The students should not be seated too near nor too far from
the tv.
Pre-viewing Activities
-Set goals and expectations.
-Link the tv lesson with past lesson and/or with your
students experiences for integration and relevance.
-Set the rules while viewing.
-Put the film in context.
8. • Viewing
-Don’t interrupt viewing by inserting cautions and
announcements you forgot to give during the pre-viewing
stage.
Post-viewing
-To make them feel at ease begin by asking the following
questions:
1. What do you like best in the film?
2. What part of the film makes you wonder? Doubt?
3. Does the film remind you of something or someone?
4. What questions are you asking about the film?
9. Go to the questions you raise at the pre-viewing stage.
Tackle questions raised by students at the initial stage of the
post-viewing discussion.
Ask what the students learned.
Summarize what was learned.
