Utilizing audiovisual material of the Greek National Tourism Organization as an educational tool in the history lesson: A case study for students in elementary school
Summary:
The introduction of technology into the everyday life of modern humans is an indisputable fact. Work, health, economy and education are some of the areas that have undergone significant changes due to this entry. Some of the technological products that modern humans come in contact with are smartphones, tablets, television, Internet, etc. It must be said that image and sound are the most important elements that make these products attractive to users. The present study examines the use of audiovisual media in education. In particular, it is investigated whether the audiovisual media provided by the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) related to ancient Athens and its culture can be incorporated into the teaching of the 4th grade History Lesson as a teaching tool for the chapter "The Golden Age". The theoretical part of the study discusses the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education and in particular in the History lesson. Also, concepts such as audiovisual literacy, visual literacy, as well as the material offered by GNTO on its website and linked to the history of ancient Athens are studied. The empirical part of the research describes the educational intervention carried out on 4th grade students of a public elementary school of Attica and research results. For the purposes of research, the students are divided into two groups, where the first group follows differentiated teaching by the use of GNTO material, while the second group monitors the teaching of module by traditional teaching. The results show that the audiovisual media of GNTO, can be used in the teaching of history, as the performance of students is improved and they seem to prefer teaching utilizing audiovisual media to traditional teaching. The paper closes with the conclusions of the research and some thoughts on the overall process.
