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 hypothesis 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.
