Bbigbagha Sylvester Z "The Effectiveness Cartoons In Classroom Communication (case study of Primary Schools in Warri, Bendel State of Nigeria)" Masters of Arts degree in Industrial Design, January, 1990 125 pp, 6 tables, 47 references titled. The problem of this study is to evaluate effectiveness ci the cartoon in classroom communication, 5 schools, 10 teachers and 192 pupils pa 'pated in the experiment. The experimental-control t€ :r.-nique utilizing the equated teacher method was folic. throughout the study. Teachers for both experi ntal and control groups were matched on the basis of t: qualification and years of experience in teaching . While students were equated and distributed into two groups on the basis of intelligence based on previous performance in three - recent terminal examinations. The narrative cartoon based on the unit instruction-the digestive system, in health education was used tor the experiment. Two tests of par forms devised to measure the pupils' knowledge of the unit of instruction was administered before n immediately after the treatment. Each of thes sts was composed of eighteen items which inciudea one-word completion, multiple (four) choice, two choice true-false types. The results indicate that the use of cartoon in classroom communication made acceptable and distinct contributions to learning. These contributions were made, however, without sacrificing the subject matter not presented specifically by the cartoon. It is also effective to pupils of high, and low performance level. In teaching abstract concepts and subject matter like the digestive system to primary school pupils, the narrative cartoons should be used. Out-of-school cartoons dealing on the society should be employed in teaching social studies in the classroom. Cartoons should also be employed in illustrating books meant for formal school purposes. Finally, the Federal and state ministry of education, should employ cartoons as part of the delivery systems in diseminating information to schools.
