Like gramophone records or the radio, the film has its limitations. It is not meant to replace that personal contact between student and teacher, as the student cannot receive answers to his questions. Its primary function is to enlarge the scope of the lecture and so bring a new dimension into the lecture room. At the same time it gives authenticity and credibility to lectures. Students can, therefore, learn a great deal from educational films and filmstrips. These create pictures in the students’ minds, and succeed where words often fail. It is left to the discretion of the teacher or lecturer to select the right film which will best illustrate the actual subject or problem under discussion. Audio-visual education offers many advantages. Learning is made more interest­ ing, and an interested person learns faster and his attention is more complete. The material is compiled by world famous experts and qualified specialists. The student can enjoy the teaching and ideas of these experts who bring the world into the class­ room or lecture hall, and so benefit by the many things he could not otherwise experi­ ence. These aids provide a common background to large audiences which stimulates intelligent discussions of problems. It has been found that audio-visual materials in the form of educational films and filmstrips are unsurpassed as teaching aids. Films are ahead of other audio material such as records, tape recordings, visual material such as models, wall charts and general illustrative materials. As a teaching aid films can conquer time and space! With the aid of time lapse photography, animation, slow motion, microphoto­ graphy and many other special techniques used by the cameraman in the making of instructional films, the student is able to get a better understanding and fuller grasp of a particular subject, and many a perplexing problem is clarified. No other medium of audio-visual education has advanced so rapidly or developed so widely as the 35 mm filmstrip. It is the most inexpensive, yet most versatile of projected audio-visual material available. Any group, regardless of age, can be reached effectively through this medium. With a filmstrip the teacher is able to progress at his own particular pace. Should questions arise, the machine can be stopped at any special frame and discussions can take place. To mention only a few of the outstanding educational films available: an excellent series of films produced by Encyclopaedia Brittanica on THE HUMANITIES — the record of man’s ideas and feelings about life — can be previewed at the Educational and Information Service, African Consolidated Films Limited, 203 Second Floor, Colos­ seum Buildings (phone 23-3901), Johannesburg. This organisation has a library of preview educational films in colour and black and white. Out of town organisations can write or phone for full details, and films will be sent to them for preview purposes. There is a film for every possible subject covering the fields of Biology, Geography, History, Music, Physics, Chemistry, Art, Literature, Religion, and a great many others. By means of audio-visual education, learning can be made easier . . . more interesting. As such, it is an invaluable aid to teachers and lecturers.
