ABSTRACT
There is little doubt that television is likely to have an increasingly important effect on education. It is already being used in many parts of the world as an important medium of instruction. However, many problems have to be solved before its full potentialities can be realized. In this paper the author considers the main problems in developing effective teaching by television and suggests some ways of tackling them. He suggests that basic to the development of T.V. as an instructional medium is the need to apply to its use the concepts developed in programmed instruction. In discussing this, he considers the key aspects of programming and reviews the findings of research on programming techniques. The paper is thus a useful source of information about educational television and programmed learning.
