VISUALIZED TESTING {Continued Irom page 117) poses, and later removed when the chai^t is again in use for instruction. Overlays of paper strips can be used when questions are asked concerning only certain ])ortions of the illustration. ReaWa Objects, models, and specimens of various sorts can become the basis for different types of evaluation activities. When numbered tags are attached to them, the instructor is able to ask questions i-equiring students to identify portions, to give the functions of each, or to indicate interrelationships. Materials in this category may also be used in "county fair" fashion and be arranged in stations throughout the classroom. Questions concerning each grouping or realia can then be asked on mimeographed sheets. Demonstrations and Dramat/zations Demonstrations and dramatizations can also provide a realistic basis for evaluating the ability of students to applv ]irinciples which have been developed during the instruction period. Here, as with the motion pictui'e, the instructor may perform an experiment while he gives an accompanying oral interpretation. .Students are asked to evaluate the accuracy of his interj^retations, to criticize the actions taken, or to re-arrange the order of events correctly. Student groups may likewi.se be called upon for episodic dramatizations which can be used in much the same manner as in the case of films, described jjreviously. * * * Instructional materials specialists who attempt to encourage the u.se of more realistic testing procedures in their school situations may discover a rise in the instructor level of ap])reciation for audio-visual technifjues generally. The instructor who thinks through his need for varying and inqjroving his testing procedures to the point of visualizing some of them is well on his way toward .sound use of similar materials for instructional purposes. Wisconsin State Legislature on Film From Wisconsin comes the story of how a motion picture is helping inform and educate \\'isconsin citizens. I'ully a million children and adults have witnessed the process of making a Wisconsin law, thanks to a sound and color motion ])icture filmed during the 1947 session of the legislatui"e and ])roduced through the efforts and planning of a Subcommittee on State Government (appointed by the Planning Committee of the State Centennial Committee), with the assi,stance of the Bureau of Visual Instruction of the University of Wisconsin. The film, along with a second film of a similar nature, will be distributed through the P>ureau of Visual Instruction at the University. Premiered during the celebr;ition of W^isconsin's centennial year on Jamiary 5. 1948, the state legislature film, it is reported, has already been shown in a 35min version to three-fourths of a million people in the commercial theaters of Wisconsin. Over 140,000 school children and adults have seen the 16mm version. 130 Educational Screen
