This article examines several important issues raised by the introduction of television as a major instrument of education. Television programs can be effective education. At every level of schooling, from the primary grades through college and adult education, various classroom experiences with television have shown that here is a fresh, exciting way of animating and expanding the in-school learning opportunities of students. Beyond the in-school use of television programs, many thousands of adults throughout the United States have had a chance in the past few years to further their systematic education through extension type television courses for at-home consumption. It is asserted that television should be used in schools to bring students the best in the arts and literature. It should be used as a means to foster in students an appreciation for creative living and ability to participate in creative enterprises. Television should provide aesthetic excitement and inspire students to create on their own. |
