REPORT ON THE EDUCATIONAL CINEMA IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF BIO PEDAGOGICAL METHODOLOGY
BY
Dr. Michele M. Tumminelli,
Dean of the Institute of Bio-Pedagogical Education "Edmondo de Amicis" in Milan.
IN giving its enthusiastic support to the first International Congress of Educational Cinematography, the Institute of Bio-pedagogical Education intends to illustrate the importance of cinematography not only from the point of view of its utility as a didactic aid, but as a valuable instrument in Bio-pedagogy.
It is necessary to insert here a short parenthesis regarding the science of biopedagogy in which we have the honour of being enthusiastic pioneers. Bio-pedagogy is the science which proposes to educate and instruct by taking advantage of the laws governing the medicine of the constitution, psychology, and pedagogy, and also taking into due consideration the three aspects of the student's personality, that is the physical intellectual and mental aspects.
Education which follows this unitarian and correctionalist principle abandons the old concepts of abstract pedagogy in order to strike out along new paths in human rationalized education. In follows very definite laws and rules which aim at finding an individual educational formula for each pupil and of establishing the most suitable educational method.
This new educational science which takes for its basic concept the grand principle of the vital unity of the living being, established in human biology by famous scientists like Nicola Pende, teachers in biotypology, the German doctor Frederick Kraus, the French biologist Le Dant, the
physio-pathologist Grasset and others, presupposes the existence in every Institute, in connection with education based on the fundamental principles of the new science of a doctor having a wide experience in the laws governing human growth.
The Edmondo De Amicis Institute of Milan which we have the honour of representing at the first international Congress of Educational Cinematography, though containing its effects within the limits of the general lines of work of the Nicola Pende Bio-typological school, has followed for some four years, in its educational activity an individual and bio-pedagogical policy and has collected a notable mass of documentary material suitable for demonstrating the utility and efficacy of the bio-pedagogical method in educational methodology for the didactic training and instruction of human material in the pre-puberty or puberty stage of life.
None of the ancient or modern pedagogic systems, not even the most famous of them, are capable of saying all that bio-pedagogy can already say after its recent inception. It has revolutionized traditional educational methods which we assert to be absolutely inadequate and insufficient for modern needs.
The Instruments of Through following the Intelligence. tnjs method, we have arrived at the following conclusions amongst others: — intelligence is a gift which, owing to the necessary disequilibrium of a mental
