IMPORTANCE OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS STRESSED *****
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND METHOD, PROPERLY DESIGNED AND SELECTED TO FIT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES, SHOULD RESULT IN MORE EFFECTIVE LEARNING, THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION (PROFESSIONAL), MR. N.M. HO, SAID THIS (THURSDAY) MORNING.
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE EDUCATIONAL MEDIA EXHIBITION AND SEMINAR AT THE KOWLOON TECHNICAL SCHOOL IN CHEUNG SHA WAN, MR. HO STRESSED THAT MEDIA, A COMBINATION OF HUMAN AND NON-HUMAN RESOURCES, SHOULD BE VIEWED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE WHOLE PROCESS OF INSTRUCTION.
+THE MATCHING OF MATERIALS AND DEVICES WITH CAREFULLY DEFINED OBJECTIVES, UPON WHICH CURRICULUM PATTERNS ARE BASED IS OF SPECIAL CONCERN TO THE MODERN EDUCATOR,+ HE SAID.
HE URGED TEACHERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LARGE ARRAY OF MATERIALS AND DEVISES WHICH ARE PRODUCTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.
+WHERE NEW TYPES OF RESOURCES ARE REQUIRED TO MEET SPECIFIC CURRICULUM NEEDS, TEACHERS MAY HAVE TO EXERCISE THEIR OWN RESOURCEFULNESS IN DESIGNING AND PRODUCING THE MATERIALS,+ HE ADDED.
IN THIS CONNECTION, SAMPLES OF HOME-MADE MATERIALS ARE ON DISPLAY AND THE MEDIA PRODUCTION SERVICES UNIT, DESIGNED TO SERVE THE NEED FOR LOCAL PRODUCTION, IS ALSO OPEN FOR VISITS, MR. HO SAID.
THE TWO-DAY EXHIBITION AND SEMINAR, WHICH AIMS TO SHOW SOME OF THE LATEST TRENDS IN EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES, FEATURES A VARIETY OF CURRICULUM ORIENTED MEDIA THAT ARE IN USE IN SCHOOL FOR A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS, AND THE LATEST AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES THAT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES HAVE TO OFFER.
IT IS ORGANISED BY THE AUDIO-VISUAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE (AVEC) OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WITH THE HELP OF THE ADVISORY INSPECTORATE, THE COLLEGES OF EDUCATION, THE TECHNICAL TEACHERS' COLLEGE AND 15 LOCAL AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS OF AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES.
