Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selected Films for American History and Problems This handbook grows out of the irritations which accompanied fourteen years of searching for classroom films suited to specific teaching situations. Time after time the writer has ordered a film which, according to the title or producer´s description, seemed the answer to a schoolteacher´s prayer. All too often it turned out to be either useless drivel or fine material utterly unrelated to the subject at hand. The problem, therefore, was to find film descriptions which were reasonably complete and honest, which included an evaluation of the material presented, and which contained suggestions concerning the phase of the school curriculum which the film best illustrated. This handbook undertakes to furnish such information to the teachers of American history, problems of democracy, civics, geography, economics, and fusion courses in the social studies. The first three chapters give directions for obtaining, evaluating, and using educational films. Little claim is made for originality in much of this material, for it is largely based upon the researches of others. What has been attempted is to bring this material together and apply the findings to the social studies. Many of the problems dealt with in these chapters are still unsolved. The best available information has been given in the hope that it may stimulate further investigations in these areas. During the past two years the writer has seen and evaluated over six hundred social studies films. The second half of the handbook is a catalogue containing reviews and evaluations of such of these films as possess definite value in illustrating some phase of American civilization. Each film was evaluated by the writer serving either alone or in collaboration with committees composed of teachers and pupils. About one third of the films finally included in the handbook were evaluated in classes actively engaged in studying the subjects illustrated by the films.
