Academic literature on the topic 'Education, Preschool Audio-visual aids'

The use of visual aids in the process of environmental education of preschool children is a factor of high efficiency, as they help the learner to master the learning material and then retain it in their memory and consciousness for a long time, the basis of the visual process, education the physiological mechanisms of the information presented in the form of visual images that are perceived by the recipient through vision are highlighted.

The article analyzes the state of learning a foreign language in a modern preschool institution. It was found that at present teaching a foreign language in preschool institutions is an important component. Preschool children, who studied foreign languages, providing their teaching was organized methodically correctly, successfully continue their study at school, and acquire knowledge of a foreign language better. Learning English by preschoolers is a special type of educational activity. In the learning process speech is both a leading teaching tool and a subject. Children do not learn the components of an unfamiliar language, but immediately master it as a means of communication. The focus is on psychological characteristics of preschool children and features of educational activities organized for preschool children at English classes, as well as the conditions that ensure the effectiveness of stable speech skills based on Helen Doron educational project in preschool education of Ukraine. It has been determined that the peculiarities of teaching English for preschool children are based on the characteristic features of children's perception of the environment. Young children perceive the world through their bodies that is looking assembling, spreading, savoring, smelling, touching, moving, and others. Scientists indicate that children at early age equally perceive words in several languages providing they are in the appropriate environment. It is noted that at the initial stage of teaching English the teacher uses a large number of visual aids, objects that surround children, facial expressions, gestures, movements, and feelings. It is determined that English learning of upper preschool age must be intrinsically motivated. The most effective organizational form of learning, which is closely related to this age group, is a game. During a game children involuntarily make efforts, develop their memory, practice English pronunciation, use foreign words and phrases. The structure of the course for children under six years old according to the method of Helen Doron is considered. It is determined that active or sustained acquisition of educational material occurs only when the child performs cognitive, communicative and intellectual activity. Keywords: Helen Doron method, organization of educational activity, psychological characteristics, speech activity, preschool children, preschool education institution.

The article reveals the problem of using media technologies in the process of working on the educational components of national-patriotic education. An overview of the main theoretical provisions on the concept of "creolized text", its varieties and the problem of introducing innovative technologies in the world process of higher education and, accordingly, the professional orientation – the use of such technologies in the practice of preschool education. The article considers the peculiarities of the influence of both verbal and nonverbal teaching aids, focuses on the types of texts that are accompanied by a video series. On the material of the educational component "National-patriotic education in the philological cycle in preschool education" for the preparation of bachelors in the educational-professional program 012 "Preschool education" made a thematic review and described possible options for using different types of creolized texts in mastering the course. The logic of scientific research has necessitated the scientific discourse of the problem of ways to use texts of this type in practical classes. Peculiarities of creolized texts are connected with the potential of modern media technologies, which create a visual series, influence the formation of humanistic values of personality, become a special form of communication interaction in the context of global civilization, influence the formation of national values: patriot citizen, national dignity, preservation of historical memory. traditions and mentality of the Ukrainian people. Conclusions are made about the need to use innovative technologies in the educational process, as it is another means of influencing preschoolers in order to form a conscious citizen and patriot. Thus, the education of national and patriotic feelings in the younger generation is a long and systematic process, it should not be only contemplative, limited to passive reactions of admiration and liking.

The article analyzes the problem of organization of childrens preschool educational institutions in the second half of the XIX century – at the beginning of the XX century in Ukraine, which was part of the Russian Empire, in particular in Kyiv. It was found that there were not enough preschools at that time, and orphanages did not solve the problem of preparing children for school and their upbringing. Preschools were opened in the green corners of Kyiv, first at the expense of philanthropists, they were called kindergartens, and then some of them were maintained at the expense of the budget of Kyiv. Much work in this direction was carried out by the Society of Kindergartens, established in Kyiv in 1907, which took care of the creation and operation of such institutions, the selection of staff for them; other public organizations, patrons. The kindergarten program included mandatory walks for children in any weather, exercises to develop hand motor skills, preparation for school. Only people with pedagogical education could work as educators in such institutions. As there were not enough of them, the Froebel Institute was engaged in preparation. There was a special school for the preparation of nannies for kindergartens, in which girls with primary education received theoretical knowledge and helped educators to cope with children. The school students were taught to cook, sew, and repair children's clothes. Lectures at the nanny school were given by well-known teachers, including Tymofiy Hryhorovych and Natalia Dmytrivna Lubenets, who worked at the school for free. The work of the Society of Folk Kindergartens was multifaceted. In Kyiv in January 1908 in the school named after M. Tereshchenko it was held an extremely interesting exhibition "Preschool Education", which contained 2 halls. The first recreated components of the "exemplary" children's room of the time. It had a corner with toys, children's works and other components necessary for the child. In the second hall the methodical materials of that time, visual aids, children's toys and a library for children and educators were collected. The exhibition was international. An exhibition of children's "folk" toys from Kyiv and Poltava regions was also organized. In cooperation with the Sikorski Institute, the organizers created an exhibition of scientific literature. At the exhibition on weekends there were also lectures by scientists on child rearing, and for preschoolers at this time organized the reading of fairy tales.

HIV/AIDS in adolescents cannot be separated from globalization development, which causes their current social changes and negative lifestyle such as pre-marriage sex, keeping on changing sex partners, and drug abuse. Promotional action should be done to prevent from HIV/ASIDS in adolescents by using leaflet and audio-visual media, which provide information and education about the danger of HIV/AIDS so that they will have good knowledge and positive attitude. The research problem was how about the influence of promotion media using leaflets and audio-visual on adolescents' knowledge and attitude, The objective of the research was to analyze the influence of promotion media using leaflets and audio-visual on adolescents' knowledge and attitude toward the danger of HIV/AIDS at SMK Swasta Imelda, Medan. Using the Wilcoxon test tested the hypothesis. The result of the research showed that there was significant influence of leaflet and audio-visual media (p<0.05) on adolescents' knowledge and attitude in the post intervention. The conclusion was that leaflet and audio-visual media were more effective in increasing adolescents' knowledge and attitude toward the danger of HIV/AIDS. It is recommended that parents control democratically their children at home or outside their homes. The school management should increase the cooperation with parents in order to increase students' academic development, and the health care providers in the neighborhood should increase health education program. Keywords: Leaflet, Audio-Visual, Knowledge, Attitude, Danger of HIV/AIDS

Essence and necessity to make the teaching-learning process more innovative, scientific and students' centred have become main aim and objective of present day education system. A large number of methods are being used in teaching-learning process. The audio visual aids are being increasingly used since these involve both audio (verbal) as well as visual way of teaching. Several researches have been proved that the ability to recall is high with teaching using audio visual aids. Selection of appropriate media of teaching is one of the smart and important steps of teaching students of different levels and domains. Several media of audio visual aids are being practisized such as overhead projector (OHP), power point presentation (PPT), white or black board teaching and flip charts etc. These media have merits as well as demerits. There are key techniques to make them more effective. The audio visual aids help in consolidation of long term memories of learnt information. Logical use of different types of media simultaneously during teaching can be more beneficial for the learners in many ways.

This article presents preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinions on the importance of selected fields of educational work in kindergartens. The article first highlights the importance of activities expressingartistic creativity within modern curriculums. Then, it presents an empirical study that examines the preschool teachers’ and assistant teachers’ opinions on the importance of the educational fields, art genres, andvisual arts fields. In research hypotheses, we presumed that preschool teachers find individual educational fields, individual art genres, and individual visual arts activities to be of different importance; consequently,education in kindergarten does not achieve the requisite holism. The study is based on the descriptive and causal-non-experimental method. We have determined that the greatest importance is attributed to movementand language, followed by nature, society, art and mathematics. Within art genres, the greatest importance is attributed to visual arts and music and the least to audio-visual activities. Within visual arts, drawingand painting are considered to be the most important and sculpting the least. These findings can support future studies and deliberation on the possible effects on practice in terms of requisitely holistically plannedpreschool education.

The purpose of this project is to explore the effectiveness of combining music and visual supports as a means of facilitating communication in exceptional preschoolers. The results indicate that music and visual supports have some merit for increasing verbal responses.

Dissertation (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main purpose of the study is to develop a model and to establish certain principles for writing a script treatment (personal pictures) of a book of the Bible. Personal pictures can be identified as the most important component of the production (filmic creation) and marketing (promulgation) processes of a fully dramatised audio-visual representation of a biblical book. The study deals primarily with personal pictures. Changes in the communication and perception of biblical content are investigated. The study focuses mainly on the dissemination of such content through audio-visual Bible products (end products). The study contends that audio-visual Bible communications for children and adults should have an educational foundation. The other main dimension of all audio-visual Bible is the entertainment it provides to viewers (patrons). The educational and entertainment facets of end products are described here as edutainment. It is important for end products to have edutainment value as perceived by socio-economically diverse peoples, of both Christian and non-Christian (non-religious) persuasions. Aspects which can contribute to the edutainment value of fully dramatised audio-visual Bible products are expounded. An audio-visual model, which defines the basis for the filmic creation and promulgation of an end product, is explained and its elements described. The determinants of the filmic creation and promulgation processes, some of which have a greater educational impact and some which have a greater entertainment impact, are explicated. An important factor is to involve patrons in the filmic creation and promulgation processes, and to help them to feel part of these processes. Writing the personal pictures of a Bible book is investigated. A personal pictures model is put forward to explain how the personal pictures can be written. A variety of guidelines to help the writer (owner) write the personal pictures of a book are presented. These guidelines deal with aspects such as writing the narrative, selecting the context of the storytelling, gathering and using background information, using enhancement factors, and implementing requirements of the users. The personal pictures already written of two Bible books are assessed. An explanation is given of why the books of Ruth and Hebrews, one from the Old and one from the New Testament, are chosen for such assessment. These personal pictures are found to be deficient and new personal pictures are written for both books, using the model and guidelines given. An empirical survey is undertaken of the personal pictures of one of the two books assessed, namely Ruth. The analysis of the empirical research finds that the respondents are able to visualise a film of Ruth with edutainment value after reading the personal pictures. The results of the survey point to the importance of both the educational and entertainment aspects in end products. Some further valuable deductions can be made from the study: Audio-visual Bible products are beneficial to convey biblical content to patrons. A model and guidelines are presented for writing good quality personal pictures. Patrons can profitably be engaged in the filmic creation and promulgation processes of fully dramatised audio-visual Bible products. A few constraints have been encountered which have a limiting effect on the study. The study highlights a number of important areas which can be further researched.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hoofdoel van die studie is om sekere riglyne neer te Ie vir die skryf van 'n draaiboeksinopsis of visuele voorstelling ("personal pictures") van 'n Bybelboek. "Personal pictures" van 'n Bybelboek is waarskynlik die belangrikste komponent van die vervaardigings- en verspreidingsprosesse van 'n volledig-gedrarnatiseerde oudio-visuele weergawe van so 'n boek. Die studie handel hoofsaaklik oor "personal pictures". Veranderinge in die kommunikasie en in die begrip van die inhoud van die Bybel word ondersoek. Die studie fokus hoofsaaklik op die uitdra van die inhoud van Bybelboeke deur middel van oudio-visuele Bybelprodukte. Die studie toon aan dat oudio-visuele Bybelkommunikasie vir kinders en volwassenes 'n opvoedkundige grondslag het of behoort te he. Die ander belangrike grondslag van 'n oudiovisuele Bybel is die vermaaklikheidsaspek. Die opvoedkundige en vermaaklikheidsfasette van oudio-visuele Bybelprodukte word hierin beskryf as opvoedkundige vermaak ("edutainment"). Dit is belangrik dat oudio-visuele Bybelprodukte "edutainment'' verskaf aan uiteenlopende sosio- . ekonomiese groepe van sowel Christel ike as nie-Christelike oortuiging. Sekere aspekte word verduidelik wat die waarde van "edutainment" in gedramatiseerde oudiovisuele Bybelprodukte kan verhoog. 'n Oudio-visuele model, wat die grondbeginsels vir die vervaardiging en verspreiding van so 'n Bybelproduk uiteensit, word verskaf en die onderskeie beginsels word gedefinieer. Die bepalende faktore in die vervaardigings- en verspreidingsprosesse, waarvan sornmige 'n groter opvoedkundige en ander 'n groter vermaaklikheidsimpak het, word uitgewys. 'n Belangrike faktor is dat verbruikers by die vervaardigings- en verspreidingsprosesse betrek word, en op 'n wyse wat hulle dee I van hierdie prosesse laat voel. Hoe om "personal pictures" van 'n Bybelboek te skryf, word ondersoek. 'n "Personal pictures"- model word aangebied, asook 'n verskeidenheid riglyne vir die skryfvan die "personal pictures" van 'n boek. Hierdie riglyne omvat aspekte soos die storielyn, die keuse van die konteks waarin die storie afspeel, die inwin en gebruik van agtergrondinligting, die gebruik van effekte wat die storie bevorder, en die toepassing van spesifieke vereistes van die vervaardigingspersoneel. Die "personal pictures" wat reeds van twee Bybelboeke bestaan, word beoordeel. 'n Verduideliking word gegee waarom Rut en Hebreers, boeke uit onderskeidelik die Ou en die Nuwe Testament, vir so 'n evaluering gekies is. Hierdie "personal pictures" word as ontoereikend bevind, en nuwe "personal pictures" word vir beide boeke geskryf deur van die genoemde model en riglyne gebruik te maak. 'n Empiriese ondersoek word gedoen om die "personal pictures" van een van die twee boeke, naamlik Rut, te evalueer. In die ontleding van die empiriese ondersoek word bevind dat respondente in staat is om 'n film van Rut met "edutainment"-waarde te visualiseer, nadat hulle die "personal pictures" gelees het. Die resultate van die ondersoek wys op die belangrikheid van die opvoedkundige sowel as die vermaaklikheidsaspekte van oudio-visuele Bybelprodukte. Die volgende verdere waardevolle afleidings word uit die studie gemaak: Die inhoud van Bybelboeke kan met vrug deur middel van oudio-visuele Bybelprodukte oorgedra word. Goeie kwaliteit "personal pictures" kan geskryf word deur gebruik te maak van die voorgestelde model en riglyne. Dit kan voordelig wees om verbruikers by die vervaardigings- en verspreidingsprosesse van gedramatiseerde oudio-visuele produkte van die Bybel te betrek. Die faktore wat 'n beperkende uitwerking op die studie gehad het, word aangetoon. Die studie lig 'n aantal belangrike areas uit vir verdere navorsing.

The study described in this dissertation was conducted during a three week period and encompassed four senior high school English classes. The data derived from the study were elicited from a pre test of knowledge and a pre treatment attitude survey; a post test of knowledge and a post treatment attitude survey and a delayed post test of knowledge. The four groups of students were given the following treatments within the Shakespearean drama unit on Hamlet: (1) Group I - Students in this group were shown four teaching films on Hamlet and read the play aloud in class with students taking parts. (2) Group 2 - Students listened to a taped recording of the play and followed along with their books. (3) Group 3 - Students in this group listened to the taped recording of the play and were shown the four teaching films. (4) Group 4 - Students in this group, which was the control group, read the play aloud in class with students taking parts. The research questions which guided the research and were addressed through the statistical analysis were as follows: (1) What significant knowledge differences, if any, exist between and among the groups receiving the non-print media treatments and that group which did not? (2) Is there a difference in appreciation (attitudes) of Shakespearean drama between the groups which received the non-print media treatments and the group which did not? The statistical analysis of the data revealed that although all groups improved on the knowledge post test, groups 1 and 2 improved the most. Attitude scores also increased for group 1. Interestingly, the difference between pre treatment and post treatment attitude scores for group 2 was negligible, and for groups 3 and 4 decreased. The following conclusions were then drawn from the statistical analysis: (1) The use of non-print media does improve knowledge of and attitude about Shakespearean drama. (2) The use of non-print media should be limited, for example, to either taped recording or film for optimum results.

Thesis (MTech (Graphic Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012.
University graduates entering the graphic design, advertising and publishing industries do so with the hand and digital illustration knowledge and skills that they acquired during their time of study. As a result of the ever-changing developments in technology, the parameters of hand-generated illustration within the visual communications industry have increasingly progressed toward digitally generated artwork. This thesis investigates the alignment or nonalignment between illustration teaching and learning practices in higher education and professional practice in the visual communications industry, with a view to identifying the gaps, and their causes, in the knowledge and skills of graduates entering the workplace. The study uses the lens of Activity Theory (Enqestrorn, 1987) to investigate practices in higher education and industry sites. Both the higher education and workplace investigation was guided by the research questions: 1) What comprises an activity system in the training of illustrators in higher education? 2) What comprises an activity system in professional illustrators' practice? and 3) How can the higher education and professional activity systems be aligned for their mutual benefit? The comparative study uses both quantitative questionnaire data and qualitative data derived from interviews conducted in both higher education and workplace sites, including the analysis of samples of illustration at both sites. The research reveals areas where there is both alignment and non-alignment and recommendations are made with a view to ensuring that illustration programmes in higher education are aligned as closely as possible to the needs of the workplace. The contribution made by this research is both theoretical and practical. The theoretical knowledge framework that has been developed outlines academics' and practitioners' of illustration theorising of current trends in both hand and digital illustration curricula in higher education and current trends and needs of digital and hand illustration in the visual communication industry. In broad terms, there is alignment with regard to technical skills and the tools used across both sites, while there is non-alignment with regard to knowledge of and preparation for the workplace and self employment, for example, time management, interpersonal skills and the acceptance of critique. The practical contribution is in the form of recommendations to curricula, which when applied should better prepare graduates with the practical and skills required of illustrators in the unpredictable, demanding world of work, which they encounter on leaving their academic institutions.

The authors use a new communication aid in conducting many activities at preschools, special needs schools, and general schools. They use dot codes printed on paper and linked with multimedia such as voices, sounds, movies, Web pages, html files, and PowerPoint files. More than one audio file can be linked with a single dot code, and other multimedia files can be further linked to the same dot code in addition to the audios. Just touching the dot code with sound pens (Speaking Pen and G-Talk) can produce the original voices and sounds clearly. If a G1-Scanner pen is connected to a tablet or a personal computer, the multimedia can be replayed on its screen. This chapter reports recent advancements in software used to create handmade teaching materials as well as several case studies from preschools, special needs schools, and general schools.

As we have already hinted, computers and the internet have made profound changes in how we learn. We begin this topic by reviewing influential visions and early prototypes suggesting how technology could revolutionize education. Early on, computers were used by educators to deliver online tutorials about subject material, administer drill-and-practice exercises on rote skills, act as supportive environ­ments for creatively exploring ideas through programming in English-like languages, and function as inexpensive, ubiquitous, and dynamic audio-visual resources. We shall then discuss other newer methods for using digital technologies to transform how students approach subject matter and how classrooms are organized. By using interactive simulation games, students learn by taking actions with respect to certain scenarios. Presentation aids such as PowerPoint and Prezi have replaced blackboards to present and elucidate concepts. Smart classrooms allow instructors and students access to technology that facilitates learning; inverted classrooms allow more effective use of class­room time by enabling students to prepare for lectures in advance and focus on working together with their teachers in class. Intelligent tutors are artificial intelligence (AI) programs that actively support student learning, diagnose student difficulties with the material, and then adapt tutoring strategies based on these findings. Next, we shall review how online learning has opened up new opportunities for adult and continuing education, whereby students can learn in their own time and at their own pace. The challenge online learning technology developers now face is to provide discussion forums, real-time chat capabilities, and methods for instructor feedback so that advantages of face-to-face interaction are not lost in web-based learning. Particularly exciting is the growth of worldwide learning communities via Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), an area of current expansion and creativity. While technology is now seen as instrumental in learning, there are still debates on the extent to which it should be used and how it should be used in education. A particularly prevalent dilemma is in middle and secondary schools. The issue is whether or not and how to encourage or disallow the use of mobile phones and other devices in classrooms.
