An attempt to cultivate education power of family and area against to the expansion of solitude TV watching in the age of multi-channel

“媒体素养”这个词现在已经为日本人所熟知。我们教孩子们如何在小学用日语制作《新闻节目》。广播电台已经开始规范其电视节目中的色情和暴力言论，并设置了“青春期和儿童时区”。首先，我们调查了年轻人的“换台”，发现他们每1小时换台16次。他们在看什么？他们能认出电视节目吗？很多问题摆在我们面前。第二，我们考察了与NHK和商业广播合作的媒介素养电视节目是否对儿童产生了教育作用。我们证明了这些程序有足够的能力。我们还统计了两年来在“青春期和儿童时区”前后的暴力表达情况。然后，我们发现暴力表达在时间区域内显著减少。3、我们与NHK福井广播公司合作，连续4年每周制作一次名为《我们学校的讯息》的电视节目。我们让孩子和学生制作电视节目，76所学校播出了他们的节目。这次审判是媒介文学写作的一个侧面。我们在这4年里写了3本书。其中2个是与广播电台和家长会的教师和人员的小组工作。村内广志的新书《儿童发展与电视》在2002年被日本图书馆协会和全日本学校图书馆委员会选为好书。下一阶段，我们必须为学校开发媒体素养的课程和材料，并评估其对儿童的教育效果。

The world 'Media Literacy' is now familiar to Japanese. We teach children how to make 'News programs' in elementary school in Japanese. Broadcast stations had started to regulate sex and violence expressions in their TV programs and also they had set 'Time zone for Adolescence and Children'.First, We investigated 'Zapping' in Young people and revealed that they change channel 16 times per 1 hour. What are they watching? Can they recognize TV programs? Many problems appeared before us.2nd, we examined Media literacy TV programs weather they have educational effects on children in cooperation with NHK and Commercial Broadcasts. We showed these programs had enough power. We also counted violence expressions in and after the 'Time zone for Adolescence and Children' for two years. Then, we find significant decrease of violence expressions in the time zone.3^<rd>, we made TV program in cooperation with NHK Fukui Broadcast stations named 'Message from Our School' once a week for 4 years. We made children and students to make the TV programs and 76 schools broadcasted their programs. This trial is a side of writing of Media Literacy.We wrote 3 books in these 4 years. 2 of them are group work with teachers and peoples in broadcast stations and PTA. Most recent book 'Child development and TV' written by Hiroshi Muranoi is selected to good books in 2002 by The Association of Japanese libraries and by The Committee of All Japan School libraries.The next stage, we must develop curriculums and materials of Media Literacy for school and estimate their educational effects on children.
