| Abstract: | Summary impressions In some ways, this report shows progress in audio-visual education. The work is being headed up by more widespread adoption
of central coordination, more classroom teachers are prepared to use audio-visual materials in their classes, and there is
more wide-spread use of the materials.
On the other hand, there are some urgent needs that become so evident from these data. “More time” is the need, “more central
coordination” is the need, “more adapted classrooms” is the need, and separately and behind all these is the need for “better
support.”
This article is a digest of a report given at the DAVI national convention in Los Angeles in April. The address was entitled
“A First Look at Findings of the NEA Survey of the Status of Audio-Visual Education in City and County School Systems.” Victor
Hornbostel is assistant director of the Research Division of the National Education Association and supervisor of the survey
which is reported. |
