• Resumen

  • In the summer of 1975 NOT (Dutch Foundation for Educational Television) started educational television programmes for infants by way of experiment. There are about 6,500 infant schools for children between four and six in Holland; about 90 per cent of this age group receive this kind of education. Before the television programmes started none of these schools possessed a television set. Two questionnaires sent out to kindergarten teachers supplied the necessary information about participation in and evaluation of the experimental programmes. From the questionnaires emerged also the opinions of the teachers about ETV for infant school pupils in general and a set of characteristics of infant schools. It appeared among other things that 15 to 20 per cent of the schools in question had made use of the programmes and that 83 per cent of the teachers were in favour of ETV for infant school pupils.
