1.1 Introduction
Education is necessary for everyone. Education is very important, without
education no can lead a good life. Teaching and learning are the important element
in education. The teacher use different methods and material to teach their students
and their effective learning. With the passage of time ,different methods and
techniques are entered in the field of education and teacher use different kind of aids
to make effective teaching.
Teaching aids arouse the interest of learners and help the teachers to explain the
concepts easily. Undoutly, audio visual aids those instructional aids which are used
in the classroom to encourage teaching learning process.
Audio- Visual aids are those instructional devices which are used in the
classroom to encourage learning and make it easier and interesting. The material
like charts, maps ,models, film strip, projectors radio, television etc called
instructional aids.(Rather,2004)
Audio visual aids are effective tool that ”invest the past with an air of
reality.”A.V aids provide the learners with realistic experience, which capture their
attention and help in the understanding of the historical phenomena. They appeal to
the mind through the visual auditory senses.(Jain,2004)There is famous Chinese
proverb “ one seeing is worth, a hundred words” it is fact that we receive knowledge
through our senses. There is another proverb that” if we hear we forget, if we see we
remember, and if we do something we know it” so it means that use of A.V aids
make teaching learning process more effective. As Kishore(2003) said “A.V aids
stimulated thinking and understand.” The use of A.V aids in teaching learning
process has multifarious values(Mohanty,2001).A.V aids give chance to speakers to
make a more professional and consistent presentation. The teaching profession is
filled with countless opportunities to enrich the academic lives of students, while
some concepts and educational objectives will be easy for students to grasp, other
will require you to think creatively to ensure that important learning objectives are
met. Using A.V aids in teaching is one way to enhance lesson plans and give
students additional ways to process subject information (Kunari,2006).A.V aids are
devices present unit of knowledge through auditory of visual stimuli both with a
view to help learning. They concretize the knowledge to be presented and help in
making learning experience apple real, living and vital. They supplement the work
of the teacher and help in the study of the text books. The great educationist
Comenius has well said: The foundation of all learning consists in representing
clearly to the senses and sensible objects so they can be appreciated
easily(Singh,2005)
