Television does not encourage children to go to school but also affects their cognitive and social development. Neil Postman continues on with his idea on how children should learn. It is not what they are learning, since television shows can all be educational, it is how you learn it that is important. By watching television, the children are only expected to play a viewer role, while not realizing the familiarity of their role as a student in a classroom.
I agree to this article to some extent.Yes,learning through TV is a one way process.Therefore,the student will not be able to express his views 'verbally' on a particular topic.
ReplyDeleteHowever,still learning from TV can be very effective since the child learns more and quickly through audio-visual mediums like TV.
For example:If it's a geography topic describing the weather of the polar regions,then the videos actually showing these regions will enhance the learning of the topic...
This is what I feel.....Dear friends,do come up with your comments too....and also come up with your topics....
