FILM AND EDUCATION come to analyze themselves more objectively by seeing themselves in the roles of other people. Films dealing with specific vocations, as those mentioned above, bring the worker and his job into the classroom in a lively demonstration for prospective . student workers to observe. Many realize for the first time that there are some unattractive as well as attractive features about the job. They are reminded that the monthly paycheck is not for the worker's interest in the job alone, but rather that it represents services he renders on the job. Students seeing this type of film are shown more specifically, and in more detail, that a given job calls for specific qualifications and duties, and that only a particular type of person can expect success in it. Counsellors are advised to inquire about "howto-do-it" films developed by industrial organizations which use them as an educational medium for in-service training of their employees. These can be valuable in studying vocations which require apprenticeship experience before promotions to more responsible positions are made. Class discussion, after showing a film which presents one vocation for study, can include such facts about it as suggested in the following form. 1. Name of the vocation: 2. Description: duties on the job 3. Requirements: Age Sex Intelligence Personality characteristics : Education: degree, certificate, or diploma Recommended and required courses Training: Recommended or required work experience 4. Earnings: Initial When successful 5. Demand: Present trend Future trend Where employed 6. Advancement opportunities: 7. Advantages of the vocation: Disadvantages of the vocation: 8. State legislation specifically related to this vocation, if any. [254]
