Key Reasons for Using Audiovisuals in Teaching<\/h2>\n
1) God made people to learn audio-visually.<\/p>\n
(Write the point at the top of the left side of a white or chalk board. Below it, draw a circle and divide it similarly to the one below. Put the percentages in as you speak.)<\/em><\/p>\n God made people with five senses through which we interact with our environment and hence learn. Studies show that how we learn breaks down this way:<\/p>\n 3% through our sense of smell Obviously using all of the senses, where possible, would yield the greatest impact on learning. But, at minimum, to teach the way God made people to learn, we must try to engage people not only through the sense of hearing but also visually \u2026 audio-visually.<\/p>\n 2) God Himself communicates audio-visually.<\/p>\n (Write the point at the top on the right half of a white or chalk board. Discuss the following questions. List their responses to the first question below the point. You’ll find input in the article, God Communicates Audiovisually<\/a>, that you can add to the discussion if not already stated by group members.)<\/em><\/p>\n Since audiovisuals<\/a> are so important in teaching, it’s vital we learn to use them well.<\/p>\n If you have sufficient time, you could go over the tips together and then have them break into pairs or triplets to work on the two exercises. If your group is small, you might want to do this together. To benefit from the exercises, it’s essential to first review the tips.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since God\u2019s Word thoroughly equips (2 Tim. 3:16-17), we must \u201cin every way \u2026 make the teaching about God our Savior attractive\u201d (Titus 2:10) to grab and keep people\u2019s attention. While these passages don\u2019t reference the use of audiovisuals in teaching, we do have a God who created us to learn through our senses and who Himself communicates audio-visually. For this reason, Bible teachers will benefit from a training session on audiovisuals. . . .
