SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD
* By John Corey. Appalachian State Teachers College
Model Building Is Good Thing
Model kits aren’t just toys.
They can be valuable “text
books” that contribute greatly to
Junior’s education.
David A. Rigsby, associate
professor of industrial arts at
Appalachian State Teachers Col
lege, Boone, N. C., states that as
sembling models of airplanes,
ships, space vehicles, engines,
power plants, and other mechan
isms gives .meaningful practice
in reading, thinking and concen
tration.
And without the youngster re
alizing it, Rigsby adds, he as
similates extensive knowledge.
Each model is a dab in science,
history, language, art, and math.
The finished product exemplifies
how varied pieces .of subject
matter relate to each other.
And the beauty of the activity
is that in addition to its aca-,
demic value, it is fun!
The wise parent and teacher
do well to encourage Junior to'
participate in this popular hob
by, the Appalachian professor
believes.
Rigsby is qualified to advise.
Students under his direction as
a high school teacher won more
awards for excellence in indus
trial arts than those under any
other instructor in the nation.
For five years, 1955-1959, Rigs
by’s pupils at Greensboro’s Cur-!
ry High School dominated the
top awards in nationwide compe
tition at the Industrial Arts
Awards Fair at Dearborn, Mich.
Most model kits contain a
comprehensive instruction sheet
plus materials necessary for con
struction. Kits are packaged for
all age level interests, from that
of the pre-schooler to the bright
mechanically minded high-school
er. '
Rigsby reminds that it’s im
port that Junior get a kit that
he can succeed in putting to
gether.
Prices range from 49 cents to
$lO.
The model-building fever is
extensive. It'may be your Jun
ior has the bug and needs no
encouragement. If so, this writ
ing may reassure you that his
time is well spent.
One survey reports that 90
per cent of eight to fifteen-year
old boys construct models as a
hobby. • ■
In fact, the young folks may
actually have demonstrated to
professional educators the value
of models as tools for teaching
and learning.
Edward W. Beaubier, the su
pervising principal of Unified
School District, Paramount, Cal.,
has surveyed the use of models
is instructional aids in schools,
■olleges and industries.
Beaubier found that in many,
many classrooms they , are as
nuch standard equipment as
halk and chalkboard.
This school principal has out
‘ined, in Today’s Health maga
zine, the many uses of models
is an education tool. He re
>orts:
High school students in Sitka,
Alaska, capsuled their physics
urogram by assembling an atom
ic power plant kit.
Grammar school children in a
Manhattan public school are aid
'd in learning their American
history by constructing plastic
kits. Construction of a jnodel of
Did Ironsides, for instance, gave
pupils greater understanding of

[ the War of 1812-
Model kits are effective in
teaching Junior to read. “The
i transition from working with
model kits toward improvement
in reading has been consider
able,” a principal wrote. “From
the point of view of encouraging
children, these construction ac
tivities have no equal.”
“It’s a rare builder who will
not be motivated to continue re
search into the history of the
miniature he has built in class,”
stated an Oregon high school
dean.
The same dean says models
clarify geometry teaching. When
the student breaks down the geo
metric shapes composing the
wings of an airplane and its
fuselage, for instance, it is like
ly he’ll remember them better
and have deeper understanding
of geometric logic.
I Plastic models are used as pro
! jects in an aviation course at
i Stephens College, a girls’ finish
ling school in Missouri.
Business, industry, and the
military also use models exten
sively in instruction.
The Navy finds them an ex
cellent tool to quickly teach
WAVE recruits the fundamentals
of Navy operation. An official of
the WAVE Recruit Training Cen
ter at Bainbridge, Maryland,
;even comments:
“The assembly instructions are
so simple that even a women
who believes she has no mechan
ical skill can understand and
learn from them.”
