AUDIOVISUAL

MATERIALS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• At the end of this lesson,you should be able to:

1. Discuss what audio visual materials are and give examples;

2. State the significance of audiovisual materials in the
classroom;and
3. Choose appropriate audiovisual materials for a specific
lesson.
AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS

• are teaching aids with sound and visual components.

• they are sensory objects and images which simulate and emphasize the learning
process and;
• they make the learning situations as real as possible
• give firsthand knowledge through the organs of seeing and hearing.
• also refer to any recorded sound and/or moving and/or still images
Multimedia materials, on the contrary, contain two or more audio visual
expression, for example, sound plus image plus text and animations
 TYPES OF AUDIOVISUALS
1. Powerpoint Presentation
• complete graphics package.
• offers word processing, outlining, drawing, graphing, and presentation management tools.
• composed of a sequence of slides.
• users can print audience handouts, outlines, and speaker’s notes.
• users can format all slides in a presentation using the powerful Slide Master.
• users can keep the entire presentation in a single file-all the slides, speaker’s notes, and
audience handouts.
• users can import what they have created in other Microsoft products, such as Word and Excel
into any of the slides.
2. Overhead Projector
• simple but dependable tool utilized to show images onto screen.
• consist of a large box containing a cooling fan and an enormously
bright light, with a long arm extended above it.
• At the end of the arm is a mirror that catches redirects the light
towards the screen.
3. Paper Handouts
• Handouts are an integral part of th teaching and learning system.
• Presentations of scholarly and scientific works are made more valuable when
accompanied with handouts.
• Teachers can present a more detailed discussion in the handouts.
• Handouts contain the major points of a topic for learners to remember.
• They present the summary of the cardinal points that users can review later.
• Handouts are handy and convenient materials or easier to pick up.
VIDE0

• a great audiovisual teach-learning device that presents ideas and

understanding of information in appealing, challenging and inspiring ways.

• Allows teachers and students to make their own videos which they can
share with others.
 IMPORTANCE OF AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS IN
TEACHING AND LEARNING
• Spurred by the persuasive numbers of audiovisual materials interwoven in the educational
system, a magnitude of change in the teaching and learning process has been witnessed since its
inception in the schools.
• Attitudes , thinking and behavior of both teachers and students will continuously be goaded to
better learning and hopefully to better living.
• The multitude of sophisticated teaching and learning aids offer educators and learners all
opportunities to select only those they perceive as the best that will perk up their classrooms,
and make the students genuinely engaged in their studies:
Studies have confirmed that:
1. Audiovisual materials arouse learner’s interest.Students get excited and develop study
habits when the teaching method or medium appears real to them and its not abstract.
2. Ausiovisual materials are important because with them learners have a clear view is
being taught.
3. Audio visual materials guide learners or students in the learning process.Their
learning is boosted, hence reducing their stress.
4. Audiovisual aids in the classroom enhance teaching methods and build up student’s
compilation.
 VISUAL AID DISPLAY EQUIPMENT

• 1.Animation.consist of making a series of figures or images to achieve lifelike movements..

• 2.Blackboard.a flat material that is painted black or green on which some information is written with chalk and that can be
cleared off.
• 3.Bulletin Board.a flat device made of core or wooden material to which learning aids are fastened by means of tacks or other
pins.
• 4.Easel or a Frame.equipment is designed like the letter "A" and has a third leg to support the frame that holds the visual aids in
place.
• 5.Felt Board.a flat board where cutout visual aids with abrasive backings are stuck.The board is covered with felt,wool,and
flannel for users to take on the visual aids and can be used for longer time.
• 6.Flash Cards.These are small size flat,stiff pieces of pasteboard or paper held in the hands in which key words or information
are written or printed.
• 7.Flip Charts.These are series of loosely fastened learning visual materials that are folded back.
• 8.Model or Mock-up. Three-dimensional imitation used to represent and original or an existing visual tool.
• 9.Pegboard.a device made of plywood that has holes bored at regular intervals where the visual aids are fitted by metal clips.
• 10.Pointer.It can be ruler or a stick used to emphasize the important part of the visual material .This can also be used in a
battery -powered flashlight to show important information on slides in a darkened room
VISUAL PROJECTION EQUIPMENT
• 1.Filmstrip Projector.a machine used to jut out 35mm filmstrip,one after another in regular
pace.
• 2.Modern Picture Projector. This equipment sets in motion the filmstrips to quickly fall
upon the screen.
• 3.Opaque Projector. This is a flat,three-dimensional device that draws on the opaque
material to form upon the screen.
• 4.Overhead Projector.This equipment shapes up the images to bigger sizes on the
transparent slides up to 10 X 10.The transparencies are placed manually .
• 5.Slide Projector.This device creates images of 35mm transparent slides that are operated
either electronically or manually.
AUDIO REPRODUCTION EQUIPMENT

• 1. Phonograph.It is a technology tool that produces sound that is recorded in spiral

grooves in revolving disks.
• 2. Sound Motion Picture Projector.This equipment harmonizes the sound recorded
along the edge of a film.
• 3.Tape Recorder.This device records auditory sensations on the roll tape and
produces the sound.
• 4. Modern Tape Recorder.This technology tool interfaces group of slides with
sounds to make a film.The sound signal can either be heard or unheard and is placed
at the same time and rate on the record to produce what is called the Sound Slide
Film Projector.
OTHER USEFUL TERMS
• 1.Film a succession of small transparent pictures that are about 8 and 16 millimeters wide and are
made of cellulose nitrate ,acetate amterials.
• 2.Filmstrips this is longer than a film,about 35mm and it consist of many individual pictures taken with
a 35mm still camera.
• 3.Graphics these take the forms of bar chart,line graphs,pie graphs, or organizational chartsbor flow
charts and are used to describe numbers.
• 4.Montage this refers to a large picture made out of letterings ,pictures,magazine covers,and the like.
• 5.Opaque this refers to the solidity of the material that prevents the light to pass through it.
• 6.Slide film film used in making slides.Also known as transparency film,reversal film and positive film.
• 7.Tape this is like the filn in which sound has been incorporated electronically or manually.
• 8.Transparent this means that light can through the material.
• 9.Transparency this refers to projecting a picture or an image on screen by using light.
STEPS IN USING AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS WHEN PRESENTING A REPORT
1. Define the goal for preparing the lesson or report.
2. Have an outline as a guide in doing research.
3. Research is finalized, as necessary.If a compilation of data or map studies is needed, included them in the reprt.
4. The final report is written.
5. Ilustration are added as needed.
6. Provide proofs for the assertion.
7. Emphasize key points.
8. Enhance the appearance of the report.
9. Add a touch of humor.
10. Add emotional impact.
11. Condence a simplify statistical materials.
 10 COMMANDMENTS OF DESIGNING THE MOST APPROPRIATE VISUALS
1. Refrain from using pictures with too much depth.
2. Provide minimum amount of details only.
3. Avoid unnecessary details.
4. Highlight the most important details in terms of texture, gradient, shading etc.
5. Make the visual realistic.
6. Consider positioning of illustrations.
7. Hardly use pictures if words are enough to express meaning.
8. Add captions to illustrations.
9. Hardly use too many colors; very few colors are not advisableas well.
