Typical effects of this method upon student attitudes, responses and learning are shown. The film then shows alternative techniques to achieve broader educational objectives. A comparison is drawn between the formal recitation and the informal, group discussion types of class sessions in which students are permitted, under unobtrusive teacher guidance, to share in the planning of their work and are thereby stimulated towards worthwhile and meaningful learning expe- riences. Discussion film strip is made to go with film. Suggested Audiences: Colleges and teacher groups.
