Audiovisual aids application in the secondary-level vocational education establishments

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the audiovisual teaching aids are applied in the modern educational environment and to assess their application efficiency in the context of the secondary-level vocational education establishments. Design/methodology/approach A pedagogical experiment was conducted to confirm this hypothesis. At the preparatory stage, the authors have analyzed the teaching and learning process, as well as students learning at the secondary-level vocational education establishment. Statistical sample was 300 people. Findings Based on the research results, main mistakes made while applying the audiovisual teaching aids were identified, formulated and investigated. These mistakes were related to the insufficient methodological preparation. As these mistakes were eliminated, student achievements and learning skills have increased by 15–20 percent (experiment data). The average marks, obtained by students before and after eliminating the methodological mistakes, were taken in points (from 2 to 5) as achievement and learning skill criteria. Research conclusion is that audiovisual aids application quality can be improved only through the research on students’ educational and creative potential, their perception of various learning materials, and their preferences in the information structure, composition, types and forms. Originality/value Applying audiovisual teaching aids in the learning process is a challenge. This paper is driven by the need of new unique methods for applying audiovisual aids related to identifying the optimal temporal lesson structure, as well as the composition and the amount of auxiliary teaching materials, interactive communication level and ways to stimulate the emotional and creative activity of students.

Psychological and Pedagogical Foundations of the Formation of Students' Own Educational Strategies in the Process of Independent Learning

“…Metacognitive information strategies were used to form the ability to search and choose information, representing the following set of techniques: to search for and highlight the necessary information in the text; to separate the main information from the secondary; highlight the necessary details (more important or less significant); establish a link between events; classify facts in accordance with the logical task; organize the search for information in search engines; formulate a request for topics of interest, etc. [35].…”

Teachers’ Pedagogical Competence in Dealing with Teaching Aids in Tanzania: A Case of a Few Finalist Pre-service Science-teachers

“…This is not, however, a call for teachers to use many teaching aids during a single lesson session as this practice may cause students to become distracted [23]. Researchers such as [23], [24], [25], and [26] warn us that humans can only process a limited amount of information a time. Thus, teaching aids that simultaneously overload learners with multiple information is not recommended.…”
