A NATIONWIDE SURVEY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO LEARN ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTS OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS FOR DIRECT AND SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTION AT ELEMENTARY, SECONDARY, AND COLLEGE LEVELS. THE STUDY RESULTS LED TO SPECULATIONS ON FUTURE INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION DEVELOPMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. CONTACTS WERE MADE WITH INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING ALL LEVELS OF FORMAL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATION. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS WERE--(1) CONSIDERABLE INSTRUCTION IS BEING PRESENTED LOCALLY BY BOTH BROADCAST AND CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION, (2) A BACKLOG OF TELEVISION INSTRUCTION IS AVAILABLE, (3) A DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF RECORDED TELEVISED INSTRUCTION IS URGENTLY NEEDED, (4) AN INCREASING NUMBER OF INSTITUTIONS WISH TO USE TELEVISION, (5) FURTHER STUDY IS NEEDED TO DISCOVER THE BEST METHODS OF USING TELEVISED INSTRUCTION IN THE CLASSROOM, (6) DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION CONCERNING TELEVISION INSTRUCTION IS NEEDED, AND (7) PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF TELEVISION MATERIALS SHOULD BE CONTINUED. SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS, BASED ON THE STUDY, WERE MADE CONCERNING POLICY DECISIONS, CURRICULUM RESEARCH, PERSONNEL TRAINING, PREDICTION, AND PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION CENTERS. (JC)
