THE CINEMA IN TEACHING
THE TEACHER'S COLLABORATION IN THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF DIDACTIC FILMS
BY

Director of the National Centri of Pedagogic Documentation.
WE do not intend the present note to be a definite report on the question of the collaboration of the teacher in the production and use of the didactic film. Such a report can only be prepared after our colleagues who are assisting at the Congress have had the opportunity to expound to us all their views and suggestions on the subject under debate.
As a rule, such opinions and suggestions are only revealed during the meetings of congresses, and are embodied in minutes or notes without there being any opportunity for a proper study and examination of such points capable of summing up the general opinion of the delegates with sufficient clarity.
We should like our colleagues to consider this note as nothing more than a kind of preliminary scheme, and we should be glad if they would be good enough to comunicate to us before the inauguration of the Congress their written observations thereon, either directly, or through the Rome Institute. These observations can be recapitulated and amplified in greater detail and preciseness during the debates. A final report summarizing the opinion of the congressists and not the personal views of the writers of the single reports ought to come as a conclusion to the debate.
Limits of the Present We must first of all Inquiry. Um;t precisely the char
acter of our task in order to avoid a duplication of the questions treated by the first commission. In our opinion, it should be the work of the latter, in the matter of a cinetechnical preparation of teachers, to seek out the general indications of the method they must follow in recommending the use of fixed or moving projections in teaching. Such indications can include length of the projections, conditions for projections, utilization of explanatory material. The second commission ought rather to settle the pedagogic limits for using the film, subject matters and problems that may arise. It should especially find out from the pedagogic rather than the methodological point of view what the teacher's functions should be in the preparation of teaching pictures and in the editing of explanatory remarks to accompany the preparation which the teacher should undergo. These are all precise definite points which require dealing with.
Stills and Motion It is very necessary to
Pictures. recall summarily the
limitations of using still or motion picture
projections for various grades and classes.
One of the essential characteristics of
