mong the basic instructional media to increase students'' interest and to obtai
n concrete images. They also considered that OHP is able to save time as well
as to standardize the instruction.4. Teachers with different personality were
significantly different in the degree of media literacy.5. Implementations o
f instructional media in general classrooms were not as expected.6. The frequ
ency of utilizing baisc instructional media is significantly lilgher, when suc

d basic instructional media completely. Based on the results of the researc
h, following suggestions are made：1. Educational executives should confirm a
complete installation of basic instructional media in general classrooms for
every school. They also have to construct in-service training programs in med
ia production and instruction, to revise "the standard of media education in j
unior high schools" ,and to perform concrete evaluations in order to providing
adequate supports. 2. Schools should make specific plan for the development
of instructional media. They also have to secure enough budgets for updating h

aining courses.4. Qualitative research methods may be used in future studies
to gain more in-depth findings in related issues.
