A multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic instructional media, ranging from something as simple as a black board to intricate electronic equipment such as computers, are available to both teachers and learners. This multitude of available instructional media confront the teacher with the problem of media selection. Choosing the appropriate available instructional media for the learning situation is no easy task. Numerous media selection models have been published since the sixties, all aiming to help teachers in the selection of the appropriate educational media for a specific learning situation. Media selection models all disclose a range of differing features. Consequently, various media selection models identify a diverse range of factors that have to be considered when selecting instructional media. This study attempts to identify factors that are disclosed in media selection models and that need to be considered when instructional media is selected. Therefore a literature study was undertaken with the purpose of identifying all relevant factors that need to be considered when selecting instructional media. A questionnaire was developed to test the practical application and use of these factors in the selection of instructional media, and to identify possible other factors that influence the selection thereof. This questionnaire was applied to a random sample of fifty (50) active subject didactic lecturers drawn from a population of all subject didactic lecturers employed by South African Universities. The research results indicate that all the factors identified by means of the literature study are major determinants in the choice of the most appropriate instructional media for teaching. Based on research findings it was also possible to identify certain new factors that determine instructional media selection and to reject certain others. A diagrammatic summary of these factors is also provided. === Skripsie (MEd)--PU vir CHO, 1993
