- Abstract
The article investigates the relative value of silent and educational sound motion pictures in science teaching. Educators have increased their efficiency by the use of motion pictures. The data for investigation were collected from the Horace Mann Junior High School of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Pairs of eighth-grade science pupils were made based on their mental development, science reading ability. A selection of eight sound motion pictures on science subjects, produced by Erpi Classroom Films Inc., was made. Four teaching units were made by the combination of these motion pictures. During experimental teaching, one group was taught by the use of the sound motion picture and the other group by the use of the same films shown silently with captions. It was found from the conducted tests that those pupils of higher mental ability tend to be taught better by the silent film method, and those of lower mental ability tend to use the sound film method to a better advantage.
