Pictures Enable Students To Learn Through Senses
By KEITH LESLIE
The scene: Almost any elementary school, high school or college.
Bewildered nunil: "But I just can't understand what you mean."
Frustrated teacher: "I've explained it four or five times; how can I make you understand?"
Fred Montgomery, director of the bureau of visual education, says th
Fred Montgomery, director of the solution is simple. Just send an order to his bureau for a movie dealing with a particular problem. The bureau is almost certain to be able to fill every teacher's needs, from the 4,000 films on file.
But why use pictures? There's a logical answer to that too, Mr. Montgomery explained.
"When a youngster comes to school, he has learned most of the important things he will ever learn such as heat and cold, and how to walk and talk, all without the use of a book," he said. "Visual education is a continuation of that process."
The technical term for this process is "multi-sensory perception," he said. "When a student is taught through the use of more than one
sense, he learns more, retains it longer, and is stimulated to learn through the use of the library. This type of teaching is more understndable and concrete. The slow student more nearly approaches the capacity of the quicker one," Mr. Montgomery said.
"For example, in radio, an individual will retain about 16 or 17 per cent of what he hears, while with television, he will retain more than 80 per cent of what be both sees and hears."
More and more teachers are realizing the value of teaching with visual aids. The K.U. bureau served a record number of more than $ \frac{1}{2} $ million persons in 40 states and the District of Columbia.
