Investigates the effect of cue specificity on the transmission of information and learning through the use of graphical materials in science. (GA)

Student success in social studies is solidly based on the ability to read to obtain information. Despite this, time is rarely devoted to actual teaching of reading within the block of time allocated for social studies. Here is a program, Project C.A.R.E. (Content Area Reading Enrichment) designed to reinforce basic reading skills in any content…

The use of the overhead projector is described. Information is provided on where to obtain transparencies; the value of pointing; writing and drawing "in situ"; commutation; and movables. (HP)

Describes equipment and visuals developed for use in a high school business classroom: flannel, felt, and magnetic boards; "hook 'n' loop" board; pegboard and electric educational board; typewriter book holder; window shade visuals; flip charts; advertising display pieces; diorama; typewriter keyboard; and strip brochure. (MF)

An attempt to communicate mathematical ideas to a primarily non-mathematical college audience involving ten weeks of one-hour films each week is described. (MN)

Presents details of demonstrations illustrating cathodic protection using a photovoltaic source and optical rotation. (SL)

Retrieval dynamics in recognition memory for paired-associates learned by rote repetition or visual imagery mnemonics are studied with Reed's response signal method. The use of visual imagery resulted in higher asymptotic accuracy as expected, but somewhat slower retrieval dynamics initially. (Author/RM)

Discusses the value of the overhead projector in the second language classroom. (Text is in French.) (AM)

This article discusses ways in which photographs can be most beneficially used in the French language classroom. (Author)

Provides an activity which integrates family history and geography. The activity is based on a time-space pathway diagram which shows the dates and places family members lived in the form of a graph. (JDH)

Provides evidence of the devaluation of visuals in technical communication courses and also that pedagogical materials on visuals are at odds with current rhetorical theory and are increasingly anachronistic in the computer era. Discusses implications of the computers' impact for visual instruction and presents suggestions for future directions in…

Determined which form of kinetic structure (high or low) and/or micrograph content (unified or varied) was most effective on introductory college biology students' (N=100) achievement of reading micrograph skills. Findings, among others, suggest that high kinetic structure instruction does not affect actual reading micrograph skills, but…

Presents author's view of how computer graphics produced in the classroom enhance mathematical concepts teaching. Specific concepts and related graphics presented include the convergence of power series and the Central Limit Theorem. Formal versus informal instruction, computer assisted instruction versus teaching, and requirements for future…

Because class size often limits student opportunity to handle individual models, teachers use stereoscopic projections to demonstrate structural features. Describes three-dimensional pointers for use with different projection systems so teachers can indicate a particular atom or bond to entire classes, avoiding the perspective problems inherent in…

Described is a visual aids facility created to enhance college classroom work in land use, planning, urban administration, local government, and real estate. The facility has two major features: mounted aerial photographs and a visual aids display case that houses a transparent overlay system. (RM)
