Topic: Learning and Teaching in mitigating the impact of television violence among adolescents

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyse the role of television programs withviolent episodes and on the Internet, on the life and behaviour of adolescents as cases serve to confirm or reject the theory that these programs incite aggressive behaviour of adolescents. We analyse how schools and teachers can help to reduce the impact of these programs on adolescent behaviour.These programs present a different way of thinking and a different way of behaviour through educational methods. Interactive learning promotes collaboration among students,meeting common goals through which they know each other better.Learning is not a product created by teachers and transmitted to students. Students create learning in their mind, or in their hands. The duty of teachers is to facilitate, guideand support students to do this transformation for them. If we want to have a fruitfulprocess of learning it is also required the active participation of the students.Students should be encouraged to stay at school, to work hard and have careerinstead of following the violent models offered by television programs. This can be accomplished through individual or group research to see violent consequences against members of society. Students should know that violence in everyday life is not like that ontelevision. Therefore, to reduce the impact of television violence we should not rely solely onfamily culture, but above all on school culture where a part of children's personality is formed.
