INTRODUCTION:

Audio Visual aids, audio-visual material, audio-visual media, communication

technology, educational or instructional media and learning resources- all these terms broadly
speaking mean the same thing. Earlier the term used was audio-visual aids in education. With
the advancement in the means of communication and that of technology, educators coined
new terms viz. educational technology or instructional technology.

DEFINING COMMUNICATION:
Communication is the process of sharing information, ideas and attitudes between
individuals.
Communication is the transfer of information from the sender (teacher) to the
receiver (student) so that it is understood in its right context.

CLASSIFICATION OF COMMUNICATION

1
 FORMAL COMMUNICATION

This line of communication is meant for the transmission of official messages

within or outside the organization. The formal communications flow in three direction
– Downward, upward and lateral (horizontal) between departments.

 INFORMAL COMMUNICATION
Informal communication is the method by which people carry on social, non-
programme activities within the formal boundaries of the organization. Each person
conveying the message, may add, substract or change the original message, therefore,
the word Rumouris used as synonym for the whole informal communication.

2
 VERBAL COMMUNICATION-
Verbal communication occurs through the medium of words spoken or written. . It
is the traditional way of communication.

It conveys factual information accurately and effectively.

 NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
It includes everything that does not involve spoken or written words. It includes
all five senses and whole range of bodily movements, posture, gesture, facial
expressions (e.g. smile, raised eye-brow, frown,staring, gazing,etc.

3
 DOWNWARD COMMUNICATION
Downward communication within the organization flows from top to bottom, i.e.,
from superiors to subordinates. This can be oral and written. The main purpose of this
communication is to pass on instructions, directives, orders etc. It stands as a great
force for controlling, influencing and initiating activities of the members in the
organization. Communication in this category includes:

 UPWARD COMMUNICATION
Upward communication flows from the bottom to the top, i.e. from the
subordinate to superiors in the form of suggestions, complaints, reports, etc. This also
can be oral or written. - Problems relating to work.

4
 HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION
It is the flow of information between persons of the same hierarchical levels. This
type of communication helps in improving understanding between equals.

5
AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS IN EDUCATION:
Audio-visual aids, audio-visual material, ‘audio-visual media’, ‘communication
technology’, ‘educational or instructional media’, and ‘learning resources’ - all these terms,
broadly speaking, mean the same thing.

DEFINITION OF AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS:

Audio-Visual aids are those sensory objects or images which initiates or stimulate
and reinforce learning.

PURPOSE OF A.V. AIDS:

 To supplement and enrich teachers own teaching to make teaching-learning more
concrete.
 To serve an instructional role in itself.
 To create interest among the group.
 To make teaching as an effective process.
 To provide a basis for more effective perceptual and conceptual learning.
 To increase and sustain attention and concentration and the “personal involvement” of the
students in active learning.

ADVANTAGES OF A.V. AIDS:

 Antidote to the disease of verbal instruction – they help to reduce the verbalism. They
help in giving clear concepts and thus help to bring accuracy in learning.
 Best motivators – they are the best motivators. The students work with more interest and
zeal. They are more attentive.
 Clear images – these images are formed when we see, hear, touch, taste and smell as our
experiences are direct, concrete and more or less permanent. Learning through the senses
becomes the most natural and consequently the easiest.
 Vicarious experience – it is beyond doubt that the first-hand experience is the best type of
educative experience. But it is neither practicable nor desirable to provide such
experience to the pupils. Substituted experiences may be provided under such conditions.
There are many inaccessible objects and phenomena.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD TEACHING AIDS:

 Meaningful and purposeful
 Motivates the learners
 Simple and cheap
 Improvised
 Large in size and easily portable
 Up-to-date

 GRAPHS AND DIAGRAMS

DEFINITION:

Graphs and diagrams are visual teaching aids for presenting statistical information
and constructing the trends or changes of certain attributes. It has a powerful impact on
imagination of people and therefore it is a popular media for expressing statistical data.

TYPES OF GRAPHS:

There are varieties of graphs and the use of a particular type is dependent upon the data and
the purpose for which the graph is constructed.

 HISTOGRAM:-
It is a graphical presentation of frequency distribution. Variable characters of
the different group are indicated on the horizontal line (X-axis) and number of
observation is marked on the vertical line (Y-axis). Frequency of each group will form
a column or rectangle. Such a diagram is called a histogram and is made use of in
presenting any quantitative data.

28
 FREQUENCY POLYGON:-
In a frequency polygon, points are plotted to represent the frequency of each
class, and these midpoint are then joined by straight lines. It is used when varied sets
of data are to be illustrated on the same diagram such as birth rates and path rates,
birth of diabetics and non-diabetics.

 FREQUENCY CURVE:-
When the number of observation is very large and group interval is reduced,
the frequency polygon tends to lose its angulations giving place to a smooth curve
known as frequency curve. Such curve is obtained in normal distribution of
individuals in a large sample.

29
 LINE CHART:-

 CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY CURVE:-

It is used to portray graphically cumulative frequency distribution; the
accumulated frequencies are represented by the vertical axis and the class intervals
by the horizontal axis.

30
 SCATTER OR DOT DIAGRAM:-
It is prepared after cross tabulation in which frequency of at least two
variables have been cross-classified. It is a graph presentation made to show a natural
correlation between two variable characters, either positive correlation or negative
correlation, and no correlation.

31
TYPES OF DIAGRAM

A diagram is the simplified drawing of an object, product, appliance or process to

explain finer points of the same. A diagram is made to show relationships with the help of
lines and symbols without the pictorial element. It is a 2 dimensional symbolic representation
of information according to some visualization techniques. It consists of –

1) Map
2) Graph
3) Chart

MAP

A visual representation that shows all or part of the earth’s surface with geographical
features, urban and rural area, road and other details. A map is always drawn to a scale which
is mentioned on one corner of it. Every map should have the following descriptions on it: a
caption or title, a grid, a scale, a key, date on which it has been prepared.

TYPES OF MAPS:

Political maps:These maps show political divisions of the world, a continent, a nation.

32
Physical maps -Show the physical contour of a place, area and region

Relief maps:

It shows the actual elevations and depressions in a place, area and region.

Sea root maps: -Show the sea routes between various sea ports.

37
 DIAGRAMS

Diagrams show presentation of qualities, discrete or countered data.

Bar Diagrams

Length of the bars, drawn vertical or horizontal, indicates the frequency of characters.
Bar diagram is a popular and easy method adopted for visual comparison of the magnitude of
different frequencies in discrete data such as morbidity, mortality, immunization status of
population in different ages, professions or places, etc.

38
Pie or Sector Diagram

This is another way of presenting discrete data of a quantitative character. The

frequency of the group is shown in a circle. Degree of angle denotes the frequency and area
of sector. It gives comparative differences at the glance.

CARTOON

A Cartoon is humorous caricature which gives a subtle message. In a cartoon, the

features of objects and people are exaggerated along with generally recognized symbols. In
short a cartoon is figurative and subtle graphic aid

39
 COMIC STRIP

A comic strip is the graphic depiction in a series of pictures or sketches of some

characters and events full of action. This medium of communication is found very interesting
and exciting by children.

POSTERS

“Posters are the graphic aids with short, quick and typical messages with attention
capturing paintings.”

40
 MODELS

The three-dimensional actual objects or their scaled-down or blown-up replicas are called
non projected teaching aids. Such aids provide the first hand feel and sense of reality to
learning, thus resulting in better classroom instruction. Under the non-projected teaching aids,
the following categories of aids are covered:

Advantages of Models:-

1) Still models are easy to make with the help of discarded materials like empty
boxes, pins, clips, nails, rags and clay.
2) Models are of reasonable size and convenient to handle.
3) Models involve the use of all the five senses and thus make learning effective.

41
1. Solid models–
A solid model is the replica of an original thing made with some suitable
material like clay, plaster of paris, wood, iron, etc. to show the external parts and
features of the thing.

42
2. Cut-away and X-ray models - Cut-away and X-ray models are the replica of
the original things to show internal parts of a thing. It may be either in the form of a
cross-sectional model showing internal parts of a thing or may be composed of
detachable parts. Cross sectionalmodels are difficult to make in the institutions as they
requireexpertise to construct them.

43
3. Working models–

4. Sand models-These are the graphic lay-out using sand, clay, saw dust, and other
objects to show trees, buildings, rivers, etc. Sand models are made using colored sand
in a tray of convenient size or on a table. Generally a green field is shown by covering
area with green saw dust, water with blue cellophane,and cardboard cut-outs for
showingforests.

44
 OBJECTS AND SPECIMENS:

Collection of real things for instructional use refers to objects. On the other hand,
specimen is any typical object representing a class or a group of things. Objects and specimen
are the real things and their use for classroom teaching imparts a direct learning experience to
students.

A specimen is a sample of the real object to the term ‘specimen’. A specimen is a

sample of the real object or a material. For example, for studying the hair of a horse, whole
horse or its tail cannot be brought to the classroom, only one hair of its tail will do. When
objects being too huge or difficult to bring to the classroom, a part of it can be brought, e.g. a
part of a huge rock, a sample of construction material, etc.

JAR SPECIMEN

45
 EXHIBITIONS:

In the school, a department of the school or a class puts up their work for showing it
to the people outside the school, and such a show is called exhibition. The pieces of work
done by the students for an exhibition are called exhibits.

46
 MUSEUMS:

A museum is a building displaying a collection of historical relics, antiques, curiosities,

works of art, works of science, works of literature, and other artifacts of general interest.

In our country some famous museum are as follows:

National Museum, NewDelhi

A herbarium is collection of pressed and dried herbs placed in an enclosure. It
will also be interesting to have a botanical garden where native medicinal herbs
can be planted and looked after

52
 CLASSIFICATION OF FIELD TRIPS
Types Description
Local school Trip It is a trip within the school and its immediate
neighbor to acquaint students about potential of
learning from the immediate environment. A
school trip is essential for fresh students to
know the geography of the school; facilities and
services available in the school; and
introduction with the school personnel and staff.
Community trip It is the trip made to a nearby place of
educational interest and it requires some hours
or a complete day.

 DEMONSTRATIONS

A demonstration is an activity to show ‘how’ and providing proofs for a process or

happening. In short, it is a performance to show a process or activity to others. When a
teacher demonstrates, students observe and imitate to learn. This is a natural way of learning

Advantages of demonstration:

Very often teachers find demonstration a good teaching aid to show how things are done,
how things work and how systems operate. This is because of the following advantages of
demonstration.

1) Demonstrations are good for acquiring and perfecting operational skills.

2) Demonstrations engage student’s attention and operation.
3) Demonstrations encourage student’s participation in learning through questions
and answers as the teacher performs.

55
 EXPERIMENT

An experiment is a learning activity in which students collect and interpret

observations using measuring instruments to reach some conclusion.

DRAMATIZATION

Dramatization is a very potent method of keeping the classroom instruction lively and
interesting. When a teacher dramatizes a lesson, the students become both the spectators and
participants. This makes learning easy and permanent.

56
TYPES OF DRAMATIZATION SUITABLE FOR CLASSROOM
INSTRUCTION:

1. Role playing- The players (students) act out the characters based upon their own
knowledge and impressions of a small incident. A role playing act requires no script and
rehearsal.

2. Play lets—The players stage a small play lasting for 10 to 15 minutes with a script
preparation and costumes. The story of snow white and seven dwarfs staged by orunart
sty debts.

3. Pageant - The players present a colorful enactment of a phase of history with the
period costumes.The story of Indian freedom struggle being staged.

57
Pantomine - The players present a scene in which characters act out loudly with
expressions and gestures but do not speak.A street scene in which objects and some
characters are shown by gestures.

Puppetry: -Puppetry is an education cum entertainment aid in which puppets manipulated

by the performance is a person termed as characters in a story to be depicted .A puppet is a
manipulative doll dressed as a character & the performance is a person termed as puppeteer

58
DIFFERENT TYPE OF PUPPET

String of marionettes puppets -Marionettes consist of puppets with hinged body parts
which are controlled by nine strings procedures required movements in the puppet. These
puppets are mainly manipulated by professiona puppeteers. For a teacher to manipulate
marionette would require special training.

Stick puppets -Stick puppets are the painted cardboard cut-outs attached by sticks. The
actions of these puppets are manipulated by the teacher and students by hiding behind a
screen so that only puppets are visible to the audience or the class.

59
Shadow puppets- Shadow puppets are silhouettes of cardboard which produces shadows
on a white screen.

Finger or hand puppets

60
 RADIO:

Advantages of Radio:

1. Radio programs are good for mass education.

2. Radio programs are effective for distance education.
3. Radio programs with dramatic effects can arouse positive emotions and reinforce
positive attitude.
4. Through the radio program ,the effective and expert teachers can be made to reach out
to a large majority of student
5. A radio programme can be used for introducing a lesson as well as for reviewing a
previous lesson.

61
 Tape RecorderA tape recorder is a portable electronic gadget to record, reproduce,
erase and re record sound on a magnetic tape. This device can be used without much fuss
by anybody by operating the following press button attached to the recorder, viz, stop,
play, wind, rewind, record, pause and eject.

MOBILE PHONES

Mobile phones transmit to a local cell site (transmitter/receiver) that ultimately

connects to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) through an optic fiber or
microwave radio and other network elements. When the mobile phone nears the edge of the
cell site’s radio coverage area, the central computer switches the phone to a new cell.

62
 AUDIO-DEVICE

MICROPHONE-

Microphone, a device used to transform sound energy into electrical energy in sound
recording &reproduction. Microphones are a vital component of many kinds of
communication system & in instruments that measure sound & noise.

AMPLIFIER

Amplifier is a device for increasing the amplitude, or power of an electric signal. It is

used to amplify the weak electric current drawn from the antenna of a radio receiving set, the
weak output of a photoelectric cell (electric eye), the diminished current in a long distance
telephone circuit, the electrical signal representing sound in a public address system and for
many other purposes

63
 LOUDSPEAKER

These are electromechanical devices that produce audible sound from amplified audio
voltages.They are extensively used in radio receivers, motion picture sound system, public
address systems and television sets as well as music systems. They come in all shapes and
sizes, from the size of a small building to tiny earphones. Several types of speaker exist but
almost all loudspeakers in use are dynamic speakers.

GRAMOPHONE

It is music box, mechanical musical instrument that produces sound when the tuned
teeth of a steel com are plucked by metal pins set in a revolving barrel or disc.

64
 RADAR

Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude,
direction or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles,
weather formations and terrain. A transmitter emits radio waves which are reflected by the
target and detected by a receiver, typically in the same location as the transmitter.

TELEVISION

Television has invaded India in a big way. Thanks to a large chain of relay stations
and low power transmitters all over the country that the television programs have reached
even the remote corners. A large number of schools have their own television sets now.

65
 STILL PROJECTED AIDS:

Still pictures can be projected on a screen to supplement teaching. These are as follows:

1) Opaque projections
2) Slides
3) Film strips
4) Over head projections

OPAQUE PROJECTIONS:

The projection of real magnified image on screen directly from pictures and drawings
on a paper is called Opaque Projections

66
 SLIDE AND FILM STRIP PROJECTIONS:

A slide is a still transparency of 70 mm, 35 mm or 6 mm size which is optically

enlarged and projected on screen as a real image.The slides and film strips are projected on
screen using an optical instrument called Slide and Film Strip Projector.

OVERHEAD PROJECTION (OHP):

The overhead projector is a very vital teaching aid which has made projections so
simple and easy that it has replaced a chalkboard in many classrooms.

67
 MOTION PICTURES: -

A motion picture film carries optically recorded visual information and sound. In a
motion picture projection, a series of still transparent picture film frames follow at the rate of
16-24 frames in a second. Each frame is projected on the screen at a speed more than 16
frames a second so as to produce the persistence of vision.

68
 PROJECTED AIDS

XEROX –

Xerograph electrostatic dry process for the reproduction of images or document

widely employed in the office system of commerce and industry in coping machines. The
process was invented by the American Printer Chester F. Carlson in 1937 and was first
developed commercially in 1950.

CYCLOSTYLE MACHINE - Obsolete duplication method: A now obsolete

duplication method using perforated stencils, or a special pen used in this process. The pen
had a tiny toothed perforating wheel & was used to create stencils on sheets of waxed paper.

69
TYPE WRITER

Type writer machine is designed to print or impress type characters on paper as a speedier
and more legible substitute of handwriting. Since the introduction of practical typewrite in the
1870’s, the machine came into universal use and played an important part in the
development.

PRINTER-- Printer is a computer peripheral that puts text or a computer generated image
on paper or on another medium such as transparency printers can be categorizing into several
different ways.Impact printers physically strike the paper & are exemplified by pin dot-
matrix printer & daisy – wheel printers; no impact printers include every other type of print
mechanism including thermal ink-jet & laser printers.

70
DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING-----In DLP projectors, the image is created by
microscopically small mirrors laid out in a matrix on a semiconductor chip, known as a
Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). Each mirror represents one or more pixels in the
projected image. The number of mirrors corresponds to the resolution of the projected image
(often half as many mirrors as the advertised resolution due to wobulation).

TRANSPARENCY
It is available in a very large size i.e. 7” x 7” or 10” x 10”
It is used for visual projection by the use of overhead projection.

71
SLIDE

Slides are 35 mm film which are projected on a screen or wall. Recommended audience size
of about 30 people can view the slides on screen or wall. By making attractive slides, the
educator can stimulate better discussion among a small group.

FILM

Color or black and white 16 mm or 8mm of cinema film, with sound, projected on a
screen or wall.Recommended Audience size- accordng to need of quantity or matter.

72
COMPUTER AIDED INSTRUCTION (CAI):

When the computer is used as an aid to teaching, method of instruction is called the
computer-aided instructions or CAI.

Advantages of CAI:

1 The CAI can be used for handling a large body of students using computer
terminals and as many as 4000 students can be instructed simultaneously with
this instructional procedure and by the time-sharing technique.
2 The CAI provides a highly flexible branching in instruction for looking after
the pace, entry cognition and level of knowledge suitable for particular
student. Thus the CAI can individualize classroom instruction.

73
SUMMARY –

Audio-visual aids are added devices that help the teacher to clarify, establish,
correlate and coordinate accurate concepts, interpretations and appreciations and enable him
to make learning more effective, concrete, interesting, inspirational, meaningful and vivid.
They help in completing the triangular process of learning, viz. motivation, clarification,
stimulation. Audio-visual aids provide significant gains in informal learning, retention and
recall, thinking and reasoning activities, interest, imagination, better assimilation and
personal growth and development. Using audio-visual aids require certain manipulative and
operational skills which can be acquired through proper training and practice.
