how does the television helps in a child's education development?

For TV: \n  TV that teaches your child something about his world is most beneficial for him to grasp the things that are happening outside of his house. Sesame Street has always been a good teacher for our kids. The most benefit comes when mom or dad can watch the program with their child and give input to their child on what they're watching.\n\nAgainst TV: \n  There's almost nothing on network TV that's good for our children. If you have cable or satelite TV, you have some better choices. Discovery, The History Channel, A&E and The Weather Channel all have educationl programs that are beneficial, but most of the other programs only feed the senses, and do nothing to educate your child appropriately. \n\n  Again, if you can't watch the program WITH your child, turn it off. You are still the best teacher for your child, and you know what he needs. Get some books, and appropriate videos that will help guide your child, without cluttering their minds with violence, sex and rudeness. They'll learn all that stuff when they go to school. Keep your home as a place of refuge and comfort. A place they know is always constant. <*)))><

I would definitely choose the first one.  Simply put, TV has had a huge impact on American Culture for adults and children.  Childrens programing has run the gamut from Howdy Doody to Sesame Street and back to Sponge Bob.  You could compare the assumtions about childrens interests and needs made by public broadcasting as opposed to mainstream broadcasting.  Look at Disney, Looneytoons, Anime, The SImpsons, South Park etc.

TV shows like Sesame Street are good, too.  If you want them to learn to read English, they first have to speak it.  Have them learn correct pronunciation from native speakers.

The average child in the United States spends about 25 hours a week in front of the television (including the use of VCR), according to the latest annual Media in the Home survey, conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center -- a number significantly exceeding the maximum limit suggested by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). In 1990, the AAP issued a recommendation that children watch no more than one to two hours of "quality" television a day. Just two weeks ago, the AAP came out with stricter guidelines, published in the August issue of Pediatrics: Children under age 2, they say, should not watch television at all, and older kids should not have televisions in their bedrooms. \n\nWhy such seemingly tight limitations? Over the past several decades a number of studies have shown that there are several ways that television can be harmful to the mental and physical health of children. That's not to say that all television is bad for kids. In fact, a number of quality children's shows -- such as the popular preschool show "Blue's Clues" and, of course, "Sesame Street" -- engage kids in positive ways. However, when children watch television frequently and indiscriminately, the effects can be detrimental. \n\nTV viewing and poor school performance \n\nOnly a handful of programs teach children important skills such as math, reading, science or problem solving. Most of the shows on television, including cartoons, are noneducational. More time spent watching these shows is linked with poorer school performance overall and decreased scores on standardized tests. This makes sense when you consider that more time spent in front of a television means less time spent on homework or having stimulating interactions with adults or other children. In addition, late-night TV watching tires kids out so that they can't pay attention in school. Also, television hands kids all the answers, promoting passive learning and short attention spans. As a result, kids have difficulty concentrating and working hard to solve a problem. \n\nTV violence affects kids \n\nIn many instances, TV programming promotes negative behavior. Perhaps the most prevalent example of this is violence. Even shows designed for children are not necessarily violence-free. The Media in the Home survey found that 28 percent of all children's shows contained four-or-more incidents of violence per show -- a number that media experts consider high. Several studies have shown that a child is more likely to display violent or antisocial behavior depending on the degree of violence and the total number of violent programs he or she watches. \n\nHeavy tv viewing, heavy kids \n\nThere appears to be a strong relationship between time spent in front of the television and being overweight. In fact, this past March the American Medical Association held a special briefing in New York City to alert parents about the well-proven link between TV viewing and obesity. This well-known "couch-potato" syndrome is probably the result of taking in too many calories (junk food -- which is advertised on television -- stuffed in unconciously as kids stare at the screen) and not burning up enough calories (sitting still rather than running around and playing). But the effects are reversible: Three studies have demonstrated that overweight children lost weight as they decreased their TV viewing. \n\nLate-night television leads to daytime sleepiness \n\nTV watching (especially late-night and violent shows) has been connected with poor sleep patterns in children. The emotional stress caused by the shows could be preventing children from getting to sleep and cause nightmares. In turn, abnormal sleep patterns can cause children to be less alert during the day, also contributing to poor school perfor

get them to create something. Drawings, building blocks, games that excite or test their ability to remember, painting, crafts. You can try making them discuss issues. You will be surprised what comes out. If you are facing hyperactive children know that their attention span is very short so a variety of quick games may help. TV is your last resort. They would likely not enjoy the same program anyway. Good luck.

Depends on the generation. First generation who do not speak that good English fare worse because of the language barrier. 2nd generation do very well but I don't think it is due to TV but to their parents. They want their children to succeed in education because they did not.\nI actually did a research project on this in grad school last week and this was what I found.

Of course ...they can....TV is a very strong medium of communication as it involves audio and video conterparts....channels such as discovery ..or national geograpic..or even history chnnel can do quiet a good to thm as compared to a teacher teaching in a school..but care should be taken as thr is too much of negative exposure eg: sex, violence etc...\nBut TV has more of pros rather than cons...so it is definately a impactful medium of learning...

As part of the Children's Television Act of 1990, broadcasters are also required to inform the public about programs which they feel are educational or informational. These codes, which use the icon "E/I" (and are often followed by a target age in parentheses), designate programs which the syndicator or network believes will further the positive development of the child 16 years of age and under, including the child's intellectual/cognitive or social/emotional needs.\n\n    In the Spring of 1997, the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, as part of the Evaluation of Educational Programs/Children and Television Project, created the following five components of "educational strength" in children's television programming. Their recommendations include:\n\n* Lesson Value: Is the lesson a valuable one -- one that is important and beneficial -- for the target audience?\n\n* Lesson Clarity: Is the lesson clearly laid out so that it can be easily comprehended by the target audience?\n\n* Lesson Salience: Is the lesson consistently conveyed and/or an integral element of the program as a whole?\n\n* Lesson Involvement: Is the lesson presented in such a way that it is engaging and challenging for the target audience?\n    \n* Lesson Applicability: Is the lesson conveyed in such a way that the target audience can see its usefulness in his/her own life?\n\nBeginning July 1, 1999, many new TVs will be equipped with the V-Chip technology that reads these codes.  The V-Chip is a device that helps parents prevent their children from watching programming with inappropriate content.  It reads the ratings that networks send in a special signal, shutting off the TV when a certain rating or content label appears in a program.  \n   \nThe KIDSNET Media Guide lists programs appropriate for children from preschool through high school, including quality programs identified as E/I.  The age-based V-Chip ratings are given when available.  Programs on the website are searchable by many variables, including subject, grade, name and rating.\n\nIf you found this answer helpful, please rate it as the best answer.  Thanks!

Definitely not. The American Medical Association recommends that children not be exposed to television until they are two years old.\n\nHere is the link to a study that confirms that children exposed to television too early have slower brain and cognitive development impairing test scores later in life:\n\nhttp://www.literacytrust.org.uk/Research/televisionabstracts.html

I don't even remember my Health class I took in middle school, a bit over ten years ago. Sad, really. I know more about the world by the internet. I don't have TV so I read the news and watch some TV clips on some sites.\n\nIf people learned to use the internet for what it is meant for: for research, and not chatting to some boy toys, they may learn a thing or two.

Below is the source for a fact sheet that talks about that.  Effect depends on the age of student and what is being watched.  Check it out!  Good luck.

Watching TV does help. I tend to buy DVD's that are in multiple languages for that same reason. That particularly helps because you already know what's going on and you can catch the meaning of the words better.\n\nTry spending some time immersing yourself in the language. Subscribe to a magazine in that language and actually read it. The more time you spend, and the more senses you immerse in that culture, the quicker you'll get it.

I think that most of all Early Education gives the child a foundation to becoming a good student/person, and it teaches them socialization skills. All of this with the help of the parents will assure a productive person in our society.

Using multimedia such as Power Point presentations provides a visual "hook" to invest the child's interest, and focuses their attention on the concepts you are incorporating into your lessons.

Besides the obvious one of academic learning and to graduate, is important that children get an education to broaden their perspective, to be exposed to a variety of opinions and people, to learn to cope with all  kinds of situations and individuals, to develop social skills,  and to have a more balanced outlook on life.
