INTRODUCTION.

The concept of educational technology of teaching machines are devices that present
information to students in progressive mode and enable self-learning, and scheduled
teaching has the origin in Skinner.
Computers quickly occupied the gap generated by the disappearance of machines.
Technology is divided among fixed material (projectors, overhead projectors...) and
passage material (slides, transparencies...) in the audiovisual media.

2. THE NEW AUDIOVISUAL CULTURE

The mass media have produced an environment characterized essentially by the image
as the main element, named "iconosphere", where it can dispense with written.
The iconic language tends to substitute, in these cases, the verbal language in synthetic
and easy messages. In this it is very important the television, the paper is being replaced
by the screen.
These elements, presented in this synthetic way, would help to define the meaning of the
"new audiovisual culture".

2.1. The concept of culture

Culture is understood as a set of "values and ideas which tend to incarnate in standards
of behaviour, written or not." (Davis, 1984).
At least two fundamental types of manifestations of a culture can be considered:

Those that can be objectively perceived (For example in the usages and customs)
Which are placed in a background assessment, emotional or philosophical.

FIRST

CHANGE:

MAKING

DECISIONS

IN

ACCESS

TO

THE

INFORMATION

Education should become a continuous process of decision-making by students

trying to access information.

Searching for information is ability acquired through the continuous and

reflective practice.

The teachers got used to provide the students all the information. Sometimes it's
even connected with violating the copyright (making photocopies).

It's important to develop the ability to search for information on their own

.
Incorporating information means the existence of prior informations. Selecting
the valued information involves making decisions. Develop selecting skill, motivate
students to practice and help structuring information, the new and old into a coherent
whole.

5.

SECOND

CHANGE:

MEDIA INTEGRATION,

MULTIPLICITY OF

LANGUAGES
The analysis of the image and development of visual thinking can be made from
many activities:

drawing

verbal descriptions

working with tables, charts and graphs, with time coordinates, maps, with
mandalas,
with cartoons, with sketches of ideas, with color

using new technologies like video and computer

Teaching must become a continuous process of translating languages, codes and

channels, the visual to the verbal, written and audiovisual to vice versa.

6.

THIRD CHANGE: FOUR ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF

SCHOOL
School, college, etc., must have today FOUR characteristics:

the school must be ACTIVE

it must be ENTERTAINING and FUN
