Television as a learning environment: A theory of synergy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Television usurps so much of our children’s time. Surely it must influence their reading growth and developing reading interests. Its lack of intellectual substance, its rapid pacing, its cluttered mixture of visual movement and sound-television’s role in the precipitous decline in achievement scores and school standards seems so plausible, so blatant.
