Education of the Televiewer in Chile.
Reyes, Miguel T.
This paper begins with a discussion of the origins of Chilean television, including its channels, programs, and transmission times, and how education for television has arisen in Chile as a defense against its influence. The initial concern of sociologists' about this influence and later development of ideas and programs by a number of institutions within the country are described, including projects at three of these institutions. A research program is highlighted which was developed by the Universidad de Playa Ancha de Ciencias de la Educacion to provide instruction for primary and secondary pupils in the use of television as a means of social communication. Background on the development of this project is provided, and the theoretical model on which the program is based is analyzed from the standpoint that education is a process of dialogue in which the educator and those being educated are active participants, and that the educative process can be given in distinct forms of human communication. The model encompasses three areas labeled demythification, alphabetization, and self-analysis. The need to develop methodologies with low cost implementation is emphasized as an area of concern, and it is suggested that research centers be formed, training programs be established, and work carried forward with help from other countries.
