Multimedia Approach To The Development Of Social Concepts In Class Teaching – A View From The Students’ Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of this paper is the widespread educational imperative that is nowadays directed towards schools, which are expected to prepare students to understand the sociability of the world they live in and to actively participate in it. This paper considers the possibility of more significantly affecting the development of complex social concepts (social groups, the past and the development of society, standards and rules, laws, etc.) and social interaction. The issue of efficiency of applied teaching models is viewed from the perspective of students as actors in the educational process. The aim of this research is to determine students’ attitudes towards the adoption of content about the past during lessons based on the multimedia approach, as compared to traditional classes. The paper proposes a general hypothesis that the teaching about the distant past that includes vocal reproduction and audio-visual perception is more successful at encouraging students to continue independent research of historical sources, to actively construct historical knowledge, and to express social skills. The students (N=124) evaluated the effects of teaching on the subscales of a Likert-type questionnaire: research of historical sources, active construction of knowledge, and social skills. The results showed that students evaluated the applied teaching models for the adoption of content about the past as successful. Students who were focused on the musical and visual experience during the processing of historical content estimate that they understood the events, that the events seemed real to them, that they imagined historical places and personalities with ease, which contributed to their researching sources on their own, being more active in classes, and cooperating with others. The implications of the research results on the issue of more effective teaching during which social concepts are developed are reflected in the constant creation of new teaching models that make the understanding of today’s society and living in it more successful.
