According to an old chinese proverb
"One seeing is worth a hundred telling."
As senses are the gateways of learning. It is essential that we should provide our students with as
many of the sensory experiences as possible, both inside the classroom and outside.
Audio-Visual Aid is "Any device which by sight or sound increases the individual's experience
beyond that acquired through reading."
They concretize the knowledge to be presented and thus help in making a learning experience
appear real, living and vital. Audio-Visual aids furnish experiences, thus facilitate the association of
objects and works. They constitute one of the royal roads to learning. Audio visual aids are charts,
graphs, models, black-boards, slides. pictures, T.V., globe, OHP etc.
In this training programme, pupil-teachers are trained for preparation and effective use of A.V aids
after careful consideration. |
