TELEVISION AS AN INSTRUMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT IN ENUGU STATE

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of television educational programme on children. One hundred and eighty respondents were randomly selected for the study in Enugu Sate and questionnaires were distributed to them.  To accomplish this task, the following hypotheses were tested.

H1:    Educational Programmes stimulate interest of school children in education,

H2:    The timing and suitability of educational programmes on NTA channel 8 to children in Enugu State

H3:    Visual aids used in educational  programmes are sufficient to enhance understanding of educational programmes

H4:   educational programmes on television are more effective in educating school children than academic activities in the school.

The tabularized and percentage  statistical technique was used to test the above –formulated hypothesis.

After a carefully analysis, it  was discovered that three of the formulated hypotheses received statistical support while the remaining one upheld the null hypothesis.

Based on the above findings, the researchers recommended among other things, that there is need for N.T.A. Channel 8 Enugu to bring back to our television educational programme that will improve the standard of the education in the state.

The researchers also suggest that for a more valid appraisals of this research a  similar study should be carried out in other parts of the country.

INTRODUCTION

1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Education in Nigeria today, has assumed a very important position in the country’s development programme.  This accounts for the introduction of the universal free primary education (U.P.E.) in  1976 and the establishment of new primary, secondary and post secondary schools all over the country.

Education could be defined in various ways.  In a  very broad sense, education includes every agency, which enables an individual to master his physical and social environment of which  he is a member.  But for the purpose of this education wlll be defined as an  organized and formal instruction, which is given  in educational establishments such as schools, colleges and  universities.
