| dc.description.abstract | The major purpose of this study is to identify teachers and students attitude towards the use of satellite tel evi sion instruction. It also aimed to investigate the importance and impact of the satellite-based instruction as perceived by students and teachers. The study further examined the major administrative and technical problems encountered in using the satellite TV in secondary schools of Harari Region. To achieve the above objectives, data were collected from two sample Govemment Secondary Schools in Harari region where the teaching learni ng is carried out through plasma television. Sample was taken from grade 10 students and teachers and data was gathered through quest iolmaire and interview. In addition to this, classrooms were observed and administrators were interviewed. The findi ngs revealed that the method used for the in struct ional design of the plasma TV does not consider the needs and interests of both the students and teachers. The students and teachers demand less televised instruction. Eventhough the Plasma TV has several benefits for both the students and teachers, the disadvantages observed are paramount. This in turn has resulted in unfavorab le attitude by most of the teachers. Moreover, the study di sclosed that the implementation and in tegrat ion of this new technology did not address some of the IllOSt basic and critical issues needed for smooth and successful operation of plasma TV. Administrative and teclmical supports were not provided to the level needed and teachers were not trained and generators unavailable. To effectively and efficiently employ the satellite TV, the method needs to be redesigned according to the needs and interests of the students and teachers. Providing the necessary resource, particularly supportive materials related to Plasma TV program operation can contribute a lot for the successful operation of the program. Moreover, providing the necessary support and training for teachers could also greatly reduce the resistance and enhance a positive perception. | en_US |
