A Search for Learning

Duration: 500 ft.

Year Published: 1968

Creator: National Film Board of Canada.

Complete Record: Subject: examines a classroom that has a permissive approach to teaching and learning. Emphasizes the passing of the directive-lecture method, authoritarian approach with its ‘empty vessel’ concept of learning and offers an approach which elicits student involvement, questioning, and closer relationships with peers and teachers. Provides specific evidence that a noisy, highly mobile group of students can proceed with complex learning tasks, and that the enhanced student-teacher rapport and enriched environment evoke superior learning. Shots: boys rolling a fire, discovery approach to helping children learn, questioning, problem solving, learning by doing, kids play dodge ball, kids w/ teacher in class, new types of teaching.
