M.Ed. / Man lives in a specific reality which directs a distinctive appeal towards him so that reality becomes accessible to him. Perception enables the composition of total impressions to form meaningful detail. Man's consciousness to achieve cannot perform if there is no mention of perception. This finding contains special significance for education, since it now becomes the task of the educator to build specimen structures for perception so that the developing character of perception is reflected in it. To make effective use of media in a class situation, general perception principles must be reflected in it, namely, that perception is relative, selective and organised, and are influenced by expectations. In the past, human communication was performed mainly verbally and through the written word, however, with media, new variations of communication and learning have become possible. It is, nevertheless, important to remember that the use of specific media should always be a method to achieve a field goal. Symbols and symbol systems are the most important characteristic of media that can make a contribution to education and learning. On account of different symbol systems exploited by modern media, the preceptor is enabled to perceive the environment in different ways and other cognitive processes are then involved with perception.
