TELEVISION FOR TEACHERS IN SERVICE.

A SURVEY WAS ORGANIZED AND CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY AND DESIRABILITY OF USING TELEVISION FOR INSERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN PUERTO RICO. VARIOUS QUESTIONNAIRES WERE CONSTRUCTED AND SENT TO TEACHERS AND EDUCATIONAL SUPERVISORS THROUGHOUT PUERTO RICO. GROUP MEETINGS WERE HELD WITH SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS IN STRATEGIC AREAS TO OFFER ORIENTATION IN THE SURVEY OBJECTIVES. FINDINGS EMPHASIZED AN URGENT NEED OF INCREASING FACILITIES AND RESOURCES FOR THE EDUCATION OF TEACHERS IN SERVICE. NO PROBLEMS WERE ANTICIPATED IN REGARD TO SECURING NECESSARY PERSONNEL, TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT, OR BROADCASTING TIME FOR ESTABLISHING SUBJECT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN MOST AREAS. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTING ACTION WERE OUTLINED IN DETAIL. (JH)
