“Next
to the home and school, I believe television to have a more profound influence
on the human race than any other medium of communication” - Edgar Dale
The Film, the video and the TV
are indeed very powerful. Dale (1969) says, they can
• Transmit a wide range of audio - visual materials,
including still pictures, films, objects, specimen and drama.
• Bring models of excellence to the viewer .
• Bring the world of reality to the home and to the
classroom through a “live” broadcast or as mediated through film or videotape.
• Make as see and hear for ourselves world events as
they happen.
• Be the most believable news source make some programs understandable and appealing to a
wide variety of age and educational levels.
• Become a great equalizer of educational opportunity
because programs can be presented over national and regional network.
• Provide us with sound and sights not easily
available even the viewer of a real event through long shots, close up, zoom
shots, magnification and split screen made possible by the TV camera.
• Can give opportunity to teachers to view themselves
while they teach for purposes of self-improvement can be both instructive and enjoyable.
While
the film, video and TV can do so much, they have their own limitation
• Television and film are one-way communication
device. Consequently, they encourage passivity.
• The small screen size puts television at a
disadvantage when compared with the possible size of projected motion pictures.
• Excessive TV viewing works against the development
of child's ability to visualize and to be creative and imaginative, skills that
are needed in problem solving.
• There is much violence in TV.

- The film, video, and TV are powerful instructional tools.
- When they are used appropriately and moderately, they can make the teaching-learning process more concrete, lively, colorful and interactive.
- Misuse and abuse of their use in the classroom and even at home has far reaching damaging effects in the development of children’s imaginative and thinking powers and sensitivity to human life.
The Effect of TV
- We agree that the TV can give a more accurate, more lively and more colorful presentation of a difficult topic in physics for instance when the one who teaches the topic is inexperienced and can only make use of still pictures in black and white as visual aid.
- We are aware of the numerous educational benefits of the use of the TV.
- The effect of TV depends on how it is used.
- When used in excess, it can also impair the development of children’s ability to visualize, to be creative and imaginative. Worse, is when children gets exposed to violence in tv.
Social
psychologist Craig A. Anderson gave this testimony to the US senate on March
21, 2000:
“The
Media violence effect on aggression is bigger than the effect of exposure to
lead on IQ scores in the children, the effect of calcium intake on bone mass,
the effect of homework on academic achievement, or the effect of asbestos
exposure on cancer… high exposure to media violence is a major contributing
cause of the high rate of violence in modern U.S. society.”
Let us
use the TV appropriately and moderately so that we can take advantage of its
advantages and mitigate its disadvantages.
