A Triangular Teaching Process: Using Mass Communication as a Media to Integrate Vocational and Academic Curricula through Cooperative Efforts of a Public High School, a Vocational School, and a Four Year College. Final Report.
List, Frank A.
In order to offer students guidance about the rapidly increasing field of communications, Apollo High School developed a cooperative radio and television communication program to be added to the English curriculum. The objectives of the project were (1) to utilize the expertise of the staff and the resources of Apollo High School, the Daviess County Vocational School, and Kentucky Wesleyan College to teach a high school course in radio-television communications, (2) to instruct students in the fundamentals of radio and television, from both technical and editorial viewpoints, and (3) to give students opportunities to explore mass communication careers--their strengths and weaknesses. Although some problems occurred involving use of local media services and school staff changes, the project resulted in a large number of students showing interest in a career in communications; enrollment in the English course also increased. This report includes a full description of the project methods and results, dissemination activities, inventory of equipment used, a curriculum guide, course outline, sample class log, and sample daily equipment schedule.
