Dr. D. Janarthanam

Abstract: In India, since the inception of TV network, television has been perceived as an efficient force of education and development. With its large audience it has attracted educators as being an efficient tool for imparting education to primary, secondary and university level students. Television constitutes an important medium widely used to disseminate information to its viewers. It has the unique feature of combining audio and visual technology, and thus considered to be more effective than audio media. It serves multiple purposes of entertainment, information and education. Besides performing motivational function it helps in providing discovery learning and cognitive development of its viewers. Because of its better accessibility, it can bring learning materials to the masses in more direct, effective and personal way than other educational media. Although every media have some strengths and weaknesses, much more depends on how the media is used. The researches carried out by Bates (1981, 1983, 1987, and 1988), Salomon (1979), and Olson and Bruner (1974) suggest the television differs from other media in the way it can represent knowledge, and such differences have certain pedagogic implications.
