The
potential of closed-circuit television and other new electronic teaching tools
is so great that it is fascinating to visualize "the school of
tomorrow". Televised lessons will originate from
a central building having perhaps four or five master studios. The lessons will
be carried into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire country.
After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take
over for the all-important "follow-up" period. The students will ask any
troublesome questions, and difficult points will be cleared up through
discussion. The teacher in the classroom will have additional
electronic tools. On the teacher's desk, the traditional chalk and erasers will
have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape player. The
tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by
headphones. The lessons will be specifically geared to the students' levels of
ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, each student
will receive an individual history lesson, directed to his particular level of
ability. Should question arise, the students will be able to
talk directly to the teacher on individual "intercoms" without disturbing the
rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct as many as
three classes at the same time. With the rapid development of
computer science, students will be aided with specially prepared multimedia
software to study their subjects better. Homework will possibly be assigned and
handed in via electronic mail system. Students can even take examinations on
their computer linked with the teacher's and get the score instantly. They will
get certificates or diplomas if they pass all the required examinations. Experts
believe that this type of education will be very popular in the years
ahead.
