Summary:
Effective production techniques for an ITV series, "Community of Living Things," are evaluated in this paper. The program is part of a junior high life science series. Five basic practices, chosen for their student interest and instructional value, were utilized: (1) rapidity of visualization, (2) few teacher appearances, (3) repetitive film sequences, (4) music (without narration), and (5) films (of animals and locations) and live animals. Narrative and statistical information supports these techniques as successful methods of sustaining interest in televised instruction. Evaluation data were obtained in February, 1971 from 30 teachers and their classes, representing nine Tidewater, Virginia, school districts. (BL)
