The Influence of Television on Student's Academic Performance in San Jose Succotz R.C. School Upper Division

Abstract

In this article, we examine the impact of television on children's academic performance, a topic that has sparked considerable debate. Television is often criticized for its potential to distract children and undermine their focus on studies, with various studies suggesting a negative correlation between excessive television viewing and academic outcomes. However, television also plays a positive role as an educational resource, offering students access to global news, educational programs, and research materials. This dual nature of television highlights its capacity to both support and hinder academic achievement, making it essential to understand the nuances of its influence on education.
