Audiovisual aids and programs can be used to help provide effective and efficient in-hospital continuing education programs. The cost of audiovisual equipment can be minimized and use can be maximized by implementing standardization policies that identify and simplify the number and types of equipment to be purchased.
The development and use of supplementary learning modules for audiovisual aids designed for wider audiences was found to be a feasible approach for the education of family practice residents. This approach allows programs to direct learner attention to areas of greatest interest in family practice. It was not excessively time consuming to develop the two modules and extensive technical expertise with media was not required. It was found that the modules were adaptable to individual or group use. This teaching method appears to be an excellent learning tool for residents. Supplementary learning modules may be useful for medical students and other health-care providers in family practice. Further economy of time and other innovations using this basic approach could result from recruiting family practice residents and other students to develop their own learning modules on topics of individual interest.

The several components of a clinical clerkship were analyzed and correlated with Part II National Board scores and career choice. No positive correlations could be made between fulfilling educational objectives, utilization of audiovisual aids, general satisfaction and the clerkship, and eventual career choice or performance on National Board Examinations.

Patients in complete or partial remission were shown a videotape of their acute psychotic illness, if possible in the presence of one of their relatives. The tape was then discussed with the patients and their relatives. The videotape and the discussion were recorded again, thus allowing for an analysis of verbal and nonverbal reactions and attitudes of the participants. The psychologically unique situation of direct confrontation with the acute psychotic state enables certain problems in this area to be more closely examined and indirectly highlights possibilities of different therapeutic approaches. The investigations will be continued.

The possibilities of and devices for motivating good oral hygiene in patients with periodontal disease were discussed briefly. Recognition of the first signs of periodontal disease appears to be particularly important. Even if treatment for periodontal disease is successful, the chance of it developing again is high if the patient is not motivated to maintain good oral hygiene. According to the author, only a small portion of the motivation provided by the dentist can be replaced by audiovisual aids.

This is a self-assessment of teaching effectiveness for teacher, students and teaching-material as well. A curriculum of oral patholology was created and prepared as syllabus, lectures and audiovisual aids. In order to estimate and compare the eductional achievements of different systems, a series of written multiple choice questions were prepared. Only items with an index of discrimination of more than 0,25 were used. The average index was 0,5. The results of a short-term experimetn (1 hour) shows that a teaching sequence in the conventional lecture style was most effective in transmitting knowledge (72% of maximum), audiovisual aids rating second (63%), followed by individual homework study using printed material (48%). The differences were statistically significant in most experiments. In the second type of experiment (long-term-experiment) we registered the time the students spent with lectures over a period of six months. When permitted to chose between the different systems the students preferred the audiovisual method to the lectures. Individual testing of these students shows a positive correlation between knowledge acquired and time spent with the audiovisual machines.
The use of audiovisual aids can improve presentations and facilitate the comprehension and retention of information by an audience. In this article, the author discusses the basic steps in planning, producing, and presenting a simple yet effective audiovisual program. Topics discussed include the use of planning boards, simple slide production techniques and the use of slide dissolve and sound synchronizer units.

In Kansas, an instructor/coordinator approach is used to train emergency medical technicians (EMTs) through two ten-day sessions at the University of Kansas. The students are trained in various aspects of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dunlop course, in the use of audiovisual aids and in basic teaching and testing theory. Then, they return to their communities and offer EMT training programs as the need arises. There are 82 instructor/coordinators throughout the state. Law enforcement officers, frequently the first on the scene in rural Kansas, receive training in crash injury management through a 70-hour plus course developed through the Kansas Highway Patrol. Also, 110 advanced paramedics, or emergency mobile intensive care technicians, have been trained through 600 to 1500 hour courses at the Kansas University Medical Center.
Continuing education is an important responsibility in the practice of radiology. The response to the growing demand for additional and new educational opportunities includes specialty societies and their programs of scientific paper presentations and refresher courses, audiovisual aids and seminars. Lacking, however, is organization of efforts leading toward programmed instruction, permitting renewal and expansion of knowledge on an organized and continuing basis. The Intersociety Educational Committee is attempting to coordinate educational efforts. A unified and effective educational process would eliminate much duplication of effort and increase efficiency.
The kernel of the patient's motivation for oral hygiene should be the conversation which the dentist has with his patient. He should conduct this conversation factually, carefully, without loud or shrill tones. The patient must be told: concerns your own personal interest. The necessary detailed information and technical hints may be left to the assistant or the dental technicians, additional leaflets and even audiovisual aids may supplement the patient's information. The members of the practice must be in agreement on the questions of motivation and information of the patient, so that one does not destroy what another has built up.
The recent big increase in learning opportunities for general practitioners, particularly in postgraduate medical centres, has been accompanied by increasing suspicion that educational activities may not be fulfilling the aims of continuing education, and that there is dissatisfaction with existing courses.This study took place in the north-western region, and 18 clinical tutors were interviewed using a structured interview schedule.Very few of the clinical tutors were aware of the existence of the book The Future General Practitioner-Learning and Teaching, and most activities consisted of lectures, lecturers usually being local and regional consultants, with occasional national authorities. Small group teaching rarely occurred, and all the centres had been supplied with videotape equipment.Most of the tutors had attended a course on audiovisual aids, or a meeting organized by the National Association of Clinical Tutors, but the tutors appeared ill at ease when answering questions about educational aims and objectives, and most tutors were unable to identify an educational objective from a group of statements.
