ABSTRACT
The impression must not be conveyed that every teacher of children up to the age of seven years was using educational television ineffectively. The research findings are not encouraging but a few teachers were showing what could be done with educational television, and how it could be used creatively and incorporated into the curriculum. The need for research into educational television was pointed out by Himmelweit, Oppenheim, and Vince. Local educational authorities also pay scant attention to educational television in the curriculum recommendations. The aim of the research was to discover how teachers in infant schools were using educational television and to what extent it was being incorporated into the curriculum. Most teachers appeared to enjoy television which they thought enriched and reinforced their teaching. The visual and auditory stimulus that could be supplied by television through animation, sound effects, trick photography, graphics, etc. could not otherwise be used by teachers and this created interests and stimulated children's imagination.
