Teaching Methods for Learning with Moving Image Texts in Primary Education: Analysis of LOOK AGAIN! (2003)

Abstract

Learners learn about the world and form their own values through watching a variety of moving images. This study demonstrates how to teach learning with moving image texts from the position that such images should be brought into the classroom as a learning material. LOOK AGAIN! published by the British Film Institute is examined as a source material, which provides the development of teaching materials using moving image texts and the suggestions for the curriculum.

The four major points discussed are as follows:(1) the basic teaching skills to make learners grasp the messages hidden in moving image texts, (2) the most basic perspectives in reading and understanding moving image texts, (3) four points necessary for developing learning using moving image texts, and (4) examples of learning activities using moving image texts to stimulate learners’ thinking.
