Role and Impact of Cartoons in Building Children’s Attitude at Primary Level

The objective of this study is to explore the impact on the attitudes and language of children after watching cartoon programs. It is considered that cartoons are the safest and most popular entertainment for children. Plenty of TV channels non-stop broadcast different cartoons for children. Kids spend far more time watching cartoons on electronic gadgets than on any other task. It not only attracts the children through its contents but also inculcates some positive and negative habits in them. Violence is a vital part of most cartoon programs, which affects badly children’s attitudes and language because they are not able to distinguish between good or bad and reality or fantasy aspects of cartoon content. Children watch cartoon characters and they try to imitate and use aggressive attitudes at home and school. Children are induced and attracted by violent content by broadcasters and children act accordingly. The researcher adopted a survey research design to explore deeply the cause-and-effect relationship among the variables. The targeted population of this study was the parents of these cartoon-watching children who use to watch long hours daily in Karachi. 100 children’s mothers were randomly selected from ten private schools at the Pre-Primary level of Central District, Karachi. Five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data. Findings show the impacts of violence presented in cartoons on children’s behavior. They not only imitate their favorite cartoon characters, and use aggressive attitudes at home and school.

Retrospective Analysis of Comics as an Object of Research by Ukrainian and Foreign Scientists

The aim of the article is to carry out a retrospective analysis of comics as an object of study in the scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scholars in the field of painting and comics, as well as to systematise the main periods of studying this topic in the world scientific space. The research methodology of the article is based on the application of both general and special methods of scientific knowledge, in particular retrospective, theoretical-research and system-structural methods. This methodological approach allows revealing and analysing the research of foreign and Ukrainian scholars on the historical aspects of the formation of comics as an independent, complex multimodal entity. The scientific novelty of the study is that the paper comprehensively considers the main aspects and current scientific approaches to the study of painting among domestic and foreign scholars and periodises the development of comics with seven stages of development of comics as an information product and reveals their specifics. The author has shown that comics are an intersemiotic phenomenon of human creative activity, an independent complex multimodal formation. Conclusions. As a result of a detailed description of the features of research in comics, the article proves the emergence of new trends in the study of graphic histories by scientists not only in terms of retrospective comics as a separate art but also such as the interaction of verbal and nonverbal components; the social impact of cartoons on the lives and lives of readers; information and communication properties of cartoons; features of linguistic and cultural aspects of comics; definition of the concept of «comics»; the ratio of certain compositional components of the comic information and communication properties of cartoons; systematic study of varieties and typology of comics.

PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE USE OF ANIMATED FILMS IN THE EDUCATION AND EDUCATION OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

The relevance of the study is due to the importance of the period of preschool childhood in the upbringing and education of the child and the creation of conditions and prerequisites for the harmonious, full development. The direct contact of the child with electronic media determines the impact of information and screen culture on the education and training of preschoolers. The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of cartoons on the development of the child's personality and to identify the pedagogical conditions for the use of cartoons for the education and training of preschool children. Research methods applied: theoretical (analysis of the literature on research problems), empirical (questionnaires, interviews, pedagogical observations, creation of special diagnostic situations). Cartoons have been found to perform a great educational, cognitive, developmental and educational function. The main pedagogical conditions for the use of cartoons in the education and training of preschool children are determined. The system of thematic planning of watching cartoons for preschool children is offered, which provides for three stages of work: preparatory, screening, reflective. The expediency of using cartoons as a means of education and training of preschool children is experimentally substantiated.The above material allows us to draw the following conclusions: animation can be considered not only as entertaining, but also a developmental genre that has a clearly defined content and structure, while performing tasks in the purposeful child’s development, upbringing and education. Active use of animated products will be effective if the demonstrated situations are explained to a smaller audience. Thus, the cartoon, intended for children’s audiences, contains significant developmental potential to influence the child’s individualityy. The quality and direction of this effect depends on the cartoon products that a child «consumes».

The use of cartoons as a teaching tool to enhance student learning in Medical Jurisprudence

Background - Cartoons have been used effectively as a teaching tool in other settings and were considered as a potentially useful teaching aid. Medical Jurisprudence is one area which needs paramount attention in the present era of Consumer Protection Act and growing litigations against Medical Practitioners. This study examines the impact of cartoons in improving healthcare professional’s knowledge with regards to Medical Jurisprudence as desired by Medical Council of India, thereby addressing the equally important affection domain, in addition to cognitive and psychomotor domains. A very high percentage of students agreed that medical cartoons help in clarity of concept (99%), memory processing (98%), retention and learning (99%), in reproduction (86%), in generation of interest (100%), in focus (98%), in interaction (95%) and as an effective teaching tool (100%). Conclusion – Study suggested that students are interested in power point lectures with academic cartoons since they are effective teaching tool which helps in understanding the topic in abetter way and facilitates the clarity of the concept, generates interest, helps in retention and learning.

American Picturebooks from Noah's Ark to the Beast Within (review)

Reviewed by: American Picturebooks from Noah's Ark to the Beast Within Joyce A. Thomas Bader, Barbara . American Picturebooks from Noah's Ark to the Beast Within. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., 1976. Published five years ago (and reviewed in an earlier ChLA Quarterly), Barbara Bader's American Picturebooks remains one of the best books of its type on children's literature. In some respects, as its title indicates, it is the definitive work, with Bader's subject being limited to one particular genre of children's literature and one particular country. Though not a misnomer, the title can be somewhat misleading: the American Picturebook cannot be treated as an isolated phenomenon, and Bader extends her survey to include foreign backgrounds and influences. Likewise, "picturebooks" undoubtedly calls forth different definitions from different readers, and it is the broadest of such definitions which Bader employs—a veritable potpourri of works ranging from wordless, alphabet and concept books to those designed for beginning readers and children of middle elementary school age. Every conceivable type of picturebook is covered, both fiction and non-fiction; every conceivable medium finds its representation and reproduction somewhere within these 615 pages. Given the broad scope and intent of American Picturebooks, the treatment afforded any one category of picturebook is necessarily of a summary nature. Thus the prospective reader should be forewarned that she might be frustrated by Bader's study—it all depends upon what one is looking for. The work is neither particularly incisive nor critical, but what it does offer is a comprehensive, extensive survey of the history of American picturebooks, with attention paid to twentieth century publishing trends and technology, the ongoing transformation of book design and media techniques, and the works of various illustrators. All of these subjects are well served by Ms. Bader. Of special interest are the separate chapters devoted to individual illustrators. These sections permit a somewhat more sharply focused view of the works, type, techniques and, in some cases, artistic growth of such popular illustrators (and authors) as Wanda Gag, Helen Sewell, Roger Duvoisin, Jean Charlot, "Dr. Seuss," Marcia Brown, and Maurice Sendak. Regrettably, these chapters are brief, but as an introduction to each illustrator, as an overview of his or her works, the chapters serve their purpose. As any sort of substantive critical analysis, however, they fall far short. The reader seeking such in-depth treatment will have to seek elsewhere. In fact, Bader gives little direct attention to critical criteria or standards of excellence by which to evaluate picturebooks: her role is to introduce us to innumerable books and illustrators; rarely does she pass judgment upon them. Of course, American Picturebooks does not purport to be a critical or deeply analytical work; it is first and foremost an historial study and survey. Recognizing this, I nonetheless feel more direct attention could have been given the relationship between the child and picturebook. Ms. Bader promises as much in her opening lines, A picturebook is text, illustrations, total design; an item of manufacture and a commercial product; a social, cultural, historical document; and, foremost, an experience for a child. While her first chapter, "Starting Points," [End Page 40] begins by considering the functions picturebooks serve—their pictorial translation of the world around us, their imagistic rendering of feelings, their creation of a contained context—it almost immediately leaves behind these considerations to discuss the history of artistry in picturebooks. Such considerations resurface in brief snippets peppered throughout 36 chapters, but they are snippets only: no where does Bader directly and fully address that admittedly amorphous yet basic concern of the child's experience of the picturebook. This reservation aside, American Picturebooks is an invaluable work, if for no other reason than that no other work quite accomplishes all that Bader's does. And the reasons extend beyond the obvious one of his historical study. American Picturebooks presents a comprehensive view of one genre of children's literature and the publishing field of which it is a part. Its concerns in turn embrace origins and audiences, individual illustrators and media, publishing technology and changes, the influence of other countries, markets, and times (as with the impact of cartoons, comics and...
