M.Ed.
Man lives in a specific reality which directs a distinctive
appeal towards him so that reality becomes accessible to him.
Perception enables the composition of total impressions to
form meaningful detail. Man's consciousness to achieve
cannot perform if there is no mention of perception. This
finding contains special significance for education, since it
now becomes the task of the educator to build specimen
structures for perception so that the developing character of
perception is reflected in it. To make effective use of
media in a class situation, general perception principles
must be reflected in it, namely, that perception is relative,
selective and organised, and are influenced by expectations.
In the past, human communication was performed mainly
verbally and through the written word, however, with media,
new variations of communication and learning have become
possible. It is, nevertheless, important to remember that
the use of specific media should always be a method to achieve
a field goal.
Symbols and symbol systems are the most important
characteristic of media that can make a contribution to
education and learning. On account of different symbol
systems exploited by modern media, the preceptor is enabled
to perceive the environment in different ways and other
cognitive processes are then involved with perception.
