To determine the effectiveness of these materials, various public and private schools in Region IV (Southern Tagalog), VII (Central Visayas) XI (Southern Mindanao) and National Capital Region (Metro, Manila) were chosen as try-out institutions. The AIDS education materials will be tried out in different subjects in some grade and year levels such as civics and culture (grade one); science and health (grades three and six); home economics and livelihood education (grade five); physical education, health and music (second year) and Pilipino Language (third year). The materials for the elementary level consist of posters, cut-out pictures, voice tapes, jingles, talking books and slides, while the secondary school level utilizes modules. For the tertiary level, a Resource Book on AIDS Prevention Education is used by the Teacher Training Institutions and the Non-Formal Education employs the Facilitator's Guide for Levels I-III. These materials will be tried out in both urban and rural schools, with control school and experimental school at each level.</p>","PeriodicalId":85314,"journal":{"name":"Population education in Asia and the Pacific newsletter","volume":" 39","pages":"18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22037717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gurgaon.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The State Population Education Cell of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is now testing the use of folk musical dramas in promoting population messages. Being the language of the hearts, it is expected that about 50,000 students, teachers and members of the community will be oriented about the problems arising from rapid population growth through folk musical dramas. These musical dramas are innovative vehicles adopted under the Village Adoption and Population Education Laboratory Schools by the SCERT. It follows three phases. The first phase required poet teachers to develop three folk musical dramas on the themes of status of women and gender disparity, importance of small family and population growth and its impact on environment. The second phase saw the staging of these folk musical dramas in two adopted schools. The presentations were video taped and recorded into audio-video cassettes. For the last phase, another workshop will be organized to convene teacher poets to develop more folk musical dramas on the themes of adolescent problem, aging problem, mother and child care, delayed marriage, status of women and population growth and environment. The video cassettes produced previously will be used in the training of teachers, students and heads of schools on the development of folk musical dramas. After editing these dramas, they will be published in the form of booklets to promote wider dissemination to schools, which can stage these ready-made folk musical dramas during school celebrations and during the Population Education Week.</p>","PeriodicalId":85314,"journal":{"name":"Population education in Asia and the Pacific newsletter","volume":" 40","pages":"9-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22029051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New Delhi.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Three training modalities used for upgrading the knowledge and skills of teachers in population education were compared in a study undertaken by S.V. Yadav of the National Population Education Project of the National Council of Educational Research and Training. The 3 training modalities compared included face-to-face training, self-learning individual mode and self-learning paired mode. The study employed pre-test and post-test designs using control groups consisting of 96 secondary school teachers teaching in rural schools in 1 district. The 3 modalities were compared according to their effectiveness in terms of gains in awareness, knowledge and attitude as well as cost effectiveness. The study showed that the face-to-face modality is still the most effective in terms of gains in knowledge and attitude. It is, however, costlier, the report points out. When cost per unit and outcomes were taken together, the study found out that the self-learning, paired mode proved to be the most effective. The self-learning paired mode is also found to be more effective than the individual self-instruction mode because in the paired mode modality, the opportunity to discuss and share learning with a colleague improves their understanding of the issues in an area in which attitude and values are important. The study recommends on this basis that policy makers consider the combination of face-to-face and self-learning paired modalities in designing their teacher-training program on population education.</p>","PeriodicalId":85314,"journal":{"name":"Population education in Asia and the Pacific newsletter","volume":" 40","pages":"8-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22029121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
