' Realizing the importance of the
use of audio-visual materials as
aids in teaching, educators at the
University are studying methods:
by which such materials can be;
properly used more extensively;
and more effectively.
They are concentrating their
study, which is supported by a j
$165,747 grant from the U.S. Of -1
fice of Education, on determining;
the most effective method of,
training teachers in the use of
audio-visual materials.
Dr. Gerald M. Torkelson, asso—
ciate professor of education andl
director of the project, explains;
that regulations for permanent'
certification of teachers in Penn-i
Sylvania since 1935 have required;
training in audio-visual methods.,
To meet this requirement, thel
education curriculums at Penn'
State have included a course in ;
visual and other sensory aids for
teachers.
"While virtually all education'
graduates have completed this;
curse," Torkelson explains, "not'
all of them effectively use audio-;
visual aids in their teaching," I
In this project, authorized un-i
der the National Defense Educa-I
lion Act of 1958, researchers
investigate methods to improve!l i
the training of teachers in the
use of audio-visual aids and will:
study obstacles teachers meet,'
that prevent them from effec
tively using these aids in their,
schools.
