By ELAINE MIELE
The growing trend toward
educational television is a
backward step, according to
Dr. Lyman C. Hunt, associate
professor of education.
"Television cannot replace the
teacher," he said. "TV can be
used to extend and supplement
the teacher's methods, but it a
lone is not sufficient."
Dr. Gerald M. Torkelson, asso
ciate professor of education, said
television does have some bene
fit in schools, hut he also believes
that teachers in the classroom
must acid to a televised lesson.
Torkelson pointed out that one
of the main problems is in "learn
ing by looking." Children, and
even older students, are used to
lea' ning by verbal instruction

aids readily, he said.
Both professors agree that
television is an aid in demon,
strations for large classes. In
this way more students can get
a close-up view of a process but
they are restricted because they
cannot ask questions.
Lyman said that parts of many
courses can be presented by tele
vision lectures but this is a "nar
row and limited conception of
teaching." A teacher in the class
room can pace his lecture accord
ing to audience response. On tele
vision he has no way of knowing
if the pupils are lost or if they
understand the lesson.
Devices can be used to make
a student pay attention, Dr. Tor
kelson said. Notebooks, outlines
and quizzes on the lectures all
aid student attention, he said.
