Radio in the classroom
Abstract
This treatise of the radio as an educational factor in
the classroom is intended to be an introductory and provocative
suggestion of what may be accomplished; to indicate some
ways in which teachers are taking the radio into account in
their teaching, with emphasis on the achievement of leaders
in the field rather than a conclusive survey of what has been
done. The radio as an educational agency is growing in popularity and will be supplemented each year by larger and more programs for classroom use. The value of the
radio in the classroom should be determined not only on the
basis of its direct contribution but also in terms of interest
it arouses, activities it stimulates, information it imparts,
and attitudes it creates. Educators have it in their power
to cultivate an appreciation of the higher standards of radio
material and to enhance and crystallize their cultural values
in an educational program.
