history

Efforts to use the medium of television for school instruction emerged in the USA in the late 1940s. In 1953, KUTH, now HoustonPBS, started the first regular school television program. School television, which is an integral part of the curriculum at Japanese schools to this day, started parallel with the start of Japanese television NHK in 1953. In Europe, France started the first broadcasts in 1949 with Radio Television Scolaire (RTS), which were expanded in 1952 to the target group of middle and higher school types. The BBC began broadcasting in the afternoon in the fall of 1957, and broadcasting in the morning started three years later. The program shell of the BBC is called BBC Schools .

At the beginning of school television, the programs were very much like filmed lessons; as it were under the motto "I am the teacher on the screen ...".

This form of knowledge transfer has not been used on television since the 1980s. School television sees itself as a partner and not as a replacement for the teacher. The face of school television programs has therefore changed from moderated studio programs to features and documentaries. When creating the programs, care is taken to ensure that the content can be easily integrated into the school curriculum. Many programs are designed to be interdisciplinary so that they can be used in a group of subjects.

In the mid-1990s, the “new media” brought major changes to the school. The computer found its way into society and was soon also in the classroom. School television reacted to this development, the teaching materials themselves became multimedia; the classic school television offer has been expanded to include the Internet offerings, CD-ROMs and DVDs.

School television was also available in the GDR . The DFF has been broadcasting school television programs since the 1970s . The programs were adapted to the curricula of the polytechnic high schools , the teaching procedures (such as timing) to the television program. Subjects included ESP , English (with the program "English for you"), geography, history, local studies, literature, physics, civics and Russian. In addition, there was teacher information that provided additional information on the relevant programs. The series ran for a long time and were repeated annually, " English for you " comprised 52 episodes and was broadcast for 11 years from 1978 onwards.
