The Experiment

MATERIALS Sample survey of 20 people (who differ in):

Age Experience Gender Grade Level

Animated video of Color guard Technique a simple spin

Explanation of the Technique

PROCEDURES Explanation of the technique The subject would attempt the technique They would then watch the animation Once again attempt the technique After the two trials, they were then asked to

take a survey.

THE SURVEY How much color guard experience they

have? Which took the least amount of time to

explain? Which took the least amount of time to

understand? Which would they prefer to use again?

ANALYSIS Approximately 86% of the sample agreed

that it took way to long for me to explain. About 92% of the sample agreed the

animation was the easiest to understand Roughly 87% would rather use the animation

to learn.

Conclusion(My Findings) Animation

is effective as a teaching method can keep the attention spans of student a lot

longer than traditional teaching methods decreases the amount of information lost

through the information transfer Increases the speed at which students obtain

information

FINAL THOUGHTS

“Global teens have been brought up to experience and expect sensory stimulation. This generation is constantly looking for new thrills that entertain. The preferred music is loud. The movies enjoyed feature fast action. The dances are rhythmic and frenetic…Global teens have a very low threshold for boredom…Do not bore this generation or it will abandon you” (Elissa Moses).
