The purpose of this study was to determine how audiovisual (AV) instruction is perceived in American Library Schools accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). This study compared the perceptions of deans and professors concerning AV instruction in their schools. Deans were selected as part of the population because of their decision-making, administrative positions in the schools. The professors, who are knowledgeable in the AV area, provided information concerning actual AV instruction. The total population was 63 deans and 120 professors. Data were collected using mailed questionnaires. The return rate was 81 percent for deans and 80 percent for professors. / This study was designed to find (1) The degree to which deans of library schools agree with their audiovisual teaching faculty on the importance of audiovisual instruction in their schools; and (2) The current issues, programs, problems, and trends of audiovisual instruction and their supporting facets. / This study found that deans' and professors' perceptions concerning audiovisual instruction differ significantly in six of the ten statements furnished. / Audiovisual instruction seems to have a number of issues; some schools have closed their audiovisual programs while others are developing new ones. There is still a lack of professional and non-professional support. There is a trend toward increasing the number of integrated audiovisual courses and decreasing the number of separate audiovisual courses. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-12, Section: A, page: 3001. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.
