Audio visual aids
IntroductIon 
Initially the origin of teaching aids is from physical sciences and engineering. 
Teaching Aids are devices presenting units of knowledge through auditory or 
visual stimuli or both with a view to help learning. They concretize the 
knowledge to be presented and help in making a learning experience real, 
living and vital. They supplement the work of a teacher and help in the study 
of text books. The use of audio-visual aids has mechanized the education 
and teaching learning process. B.F. Skinner comments that our kitchens are 
more mechanized than education. This statement seems to be true even in 
our country. 
The Great Educationist: Comenius has well said “The foundation of all 
learning consists in representing clearly to the senses, sensible objects so 
that they can be appreciated easily.” 
objectIves 
1. To supplement the spoken word : Only verbal descriptions do not help 
to bring the facts home to the pupils. The teacher must take the help 
of teaching aids to supplement and explain the spoken word. 
2. To make the subject real, vivid, interesting and life like: The use of 
teaching aids can add zest, interest and vitality to any teaching 
learning situation. 
3. To Develop Concepts, improve attitudes and Extend Appreciation 
and Interests: The use of teaching aids will lead to the development of 
proper concepts, improvement of attitudes and extension of 
appreciation and interests.
CharaCteristiCs of audio Visual-aids 
The following are the main characteristics: 
1. It helps in developing the perception of the learner. 
2. It aids in positive transfer of learning and training. 
3. It facilitates in understanding and comprehension. 
4. It provides reinforcement to the learners. 
5. It increases the retention of the learners. 
These are the generalized statements about the audio-visual aids, but the 
teacher has to take decision in selecting appropriate audio-visual aids on the 
basis of students-level and objectives of learning. 
type of audio-Visual aids 
Initially the origin of teaching aids is from physical sciences and engineering. 
The use of audio-visual aids has mechanized the education and teaching 
learning process. The audio-visual aids are classified into three categories: 
1. Audio-teaching aids 
2. Visual teaching aids, and 
3. Audio-visual aids 
1. Audio Teaching Aids: This type of teaching aids facilitate audio senses 
and encourage the listening function. The audio sense is more active 
by the use of such teaching aids. The audio sense is active in lecture 
and question-answer strategies. The use of tape-recorder, radio, 
record player and gramophone make the learner more active and
attentive in teaching process. The students take more interest when 
lesson is displayed with the help of such teaching aids. These aids 
produce only sounds. 
2. Visual Teaching Aids: These teaching aids facilitate the visual sense 
and encourages the sensing function. The visual sense is more active 
by the use of such aids. This sense is more active when teacher uses 
pictures, maps, graphs, models and line-drawing in his teaching 
activities. No teaching can be possible without the use of such 
teaching aids. The visual teaching aids play a significant role in 
teaching: geography, physics, chemistry, biology and economics etc. 
The geography content cannot be taught without the use of maps and 
globe. The visual aids are most useful and economical than audio-aids. 
3. Audio-Visual Teaching Aids: These teaching aids are used to facilitate 
both audio and visual senses and encourage listening and observing 
functions. Thus, these aids involve more than one sense 
simultaneously and learner is more active. This is most effective and 
useful that earlier aids. The learning structure can be generated more 
easily and comprehensively. These aids develop the perception of the 
learner which is the basis for the understanding of any concept. 
Televisions, films and radio tapes are the examples of auto-visual aid. 
These are costly and rarely used in teaching learning situation. 
adVantages of audio-Visual aids 
The following are the advantages of audio-visual aids: 
1. Provision of Sensory Experience: Learning requires an adequate 
background of sensory experience. New words and unfamiliar objects 
cannot be followed and understood properly unless they are attached 
to specific elements of one’s experience.
2. Provision of Substitutes for Direct Experiences: Audio – Visual 
materials will come to our aid at that time to facilitate understanding 
of new concepts, facts and symbols. Pictures, models and specimens 
etc may be used as accurate and effective substitutes of direct learning 
experiences. 
3. Supplement to Direct Experience: Direct experiences can very well be 
supplemented with audio-visual aids by vicarious or representative 
learning. Visiting a post office or a cotton textile mill, pupils can learn 
more about the postal system and about the manufacture of cloth if 
these direct learning experiences are followed by seeing a film or 
motion picture on the subject. 
4. Important Motivators: Audio-visual aids are important motivators. 
They possess vividness, clarity and dramatic appeal. Children enjoy 
looking at pictures, going to movies and listening to radio. These are 
the effective medium of holding the attention and to simulating new 
interests and activities among children. 
5. Effective Aid to the Slow Learner: Audio-visual aids are particularly 
helpful to poor readers and slow learners who cannot get all the 
required knowledge from the text books. They can more easily 
understand and remember the facts, gained through pictures, movies, 
models and radio etc. than gathered from abstract symbols and 
printed pages. 
6. More Efficient Learning: With the proper use of audio-visual aids, 
pupils not only learn more rapidly but they also remember the facts, 
thus learned, for longer period. 
7. Development of the Power of Imagination and Observation: Audio-visual 
aids provide sensory images much more clear and effective than 
the verbal images. It makes learning more natural and easy.

The effecTive use of 
insTrucTional aids 
Before using any instructional aid, we must know: 
1. What are our specific and general objectives? 
2. Why have we chosen it? 
3. Does it give a true, correct and accurate impression of the thing 
it represents? 
4. Is it appropriate for the age, intelligence and experience of the 
learners? 
5. Does it advance the lesson any further? 
6. Is its physical condition satisfactory? 
7. Is it worth the time, expense and effort involved? 
8. Have we taken into account those students who are physically 
handicapped (defective in seeing and hearing)? 
9. Specifically how do we proceed i.e. at what point shall be used 
the aid, in what manner, and how many time. In short, we may 
say that we should have the right aid for right time and in right 
quantity.
