On the utilization of the Audio-Visual-Method to the Science Teaching

Abstract

At first, the author discussed the utilization of Audio-Visual method to the science teaching on a standpoint of the communication theory, then that the recognition of students (as a receiver) consists of three steps, such as physical reflection, animal reaction and human reflection, and compaired these to the 1st and 2nd signals of Pavlov's reaction. Next, the author considered the education of scientific consideration on a standpoint of scientific recognition, there are many steps of methods for teaching the scientific consideration. On each step, we make concept and this concept goes to higher concept with the progress of steps, then we make the net of concepts in our brains. To make these concepts, we needs various kinds of Audio-Visual methods and there are steps in these methods such as sensitivity, understanding and reason. Then the author discussed the each Audio-Visual aid for the science teaching, at first for the model that represents roughly actual existence, then went to the photograph, the slide, the silent cinema, the tape-recording, the radio, the talkie and the television by turns, these series of Audio-Visual aids changes with the growth of artificial technology, at first separate a little from the actual existence and go on, then at last come back again near the actual existence with the growth of the artificial technology. These specialities are very useful for the science teaching and I suppose that the reasons of this artificial technology as the science teaching, are very important and must be studied in future. At last, the auther discussed the Audio-Visual method, not only as a teaching aid, but also as an action of students, and concluded the necessity of the utilization of the Audio-Visual method for the science teaching theoretically.
