BREAKING GROUND IN THE FIELD OF VISUAL INSTRUCTION Detailed Outline of the Comprehensive Course Being Studied by Advanced and Graduate Students at the University of Kansas By Wade G. Fowler and Joseph J. Weber EXPERIMENTAL research has revealed the fact that learning can be increased twenty-five per cent or more if pictures are used to provide a basal vicarious ex- perience for the lesson of the day. With this proof in and, the School of Education in the University of Kansas is Bfering a course in visual instruction to its advanced and grad- ate students. The course is being worked out cooperatively by le instructor and various student committees. A detailed plan ,)r the semester has been formulated, based upon the following )nsiderations: \ isual instruction should not be called a new movement in iucation. It is as old as education through the eye itself; and lany of the so-called visual aids—models, globes, maps, charts, m. raphs, diagrams—are of long standing. With the invention and perfection of photography, however, ; lere have come into existence means of great educational possi- i Jities. They are the still picture, the motion picture, the ereograph, and the lantern slide. Working these into the class- >om is, we believe, the chief concern of visual instruction. We may summarize, therefore, by saying: The core of visual iStruction is merely the common-sense adaptation of the products ( ^ photography to the purposes of the school. \ The following outline is published with the fond hope that it ill serve. Any suggestions for revision will be highly appre- ated. A CoimsE IN Visual Instruction I. History and Growth of Visual Education. II. Principles of Visual Education. III.
