Visual Education and the Language Arts: Toward the Incorporation of Visual Concepts and Skills in the Secondary Language Arts Program.
Wood, David Robert
The purpose of this study was to develop a rationale for and to organize sequences of visual education concepts and skills that could function as a part of a secondary language arts program embodying the approaches of James Moffett. The literature on visual education was studied to identify those factors related specifically to professional knowledge in secondary language arts as possible components of the language curriculum. The factors identified as pertinent were that the photographic record can teach us how to see; pictures are better than words for learning; most of the historical users of photography viewed the photograph as a means to an end; and Moffett's action-response model of learning in small groups offered speaker-listener-subject as the ultimate context which may be translated into photographer-viewer-subject. It was concluded that the construction of a secondary language arts based visual education curriculum is more directly associated with the factors of visual perceptual and picture theory, of photography, and of curriculum conceptual models that allow for more than one path of development than other factors.
