According to Binnning et al (1952), the television has great possibilities as an educational
medium. It can be a powerful tool in religious Education although it has a limited reach of urban
and audiences and social economic class.
How to get most from television.
An R.E teacher should identify relevant television programmes from the local dailies. As part of
homework and the learners should be asked to view this programmmes during their own free
time .In cases where not every student is served with a television set the should video-tape the programme and show it to the entire class. This can also be done as a follow-up on what the
students viewed on their own. Where a School owns a television set, the teacher should
recognize the timetable if it is during School hours so that the students can have a chance of
viewing some of these programmmes.
In spite of its usefulness, the television has a number of disadvantages.
1. It is expensive for some Schools.
2. There is poor reception in some parts of the Country. Therefore, there is need for more
satellites to be set up.
3. Electricity can go off in the middle of a programme and there may be no alternative
source of power.
4. Some programmes fall during wrong hours either when the students are occupied or
when the teacher is not available to organize the entire class for viewing.
5. It is difficult to sieve out important information from a programme designed for a different purpose and addressed to a different audience (public) and make it relevant to School Students.
