Description:
This study concerns media used in the home by children ages 2 to 10. It is the first study we know of to attempt to quantify, on a national level, how much of children's media time is devoted to educational content -- platform by platform, age by age. It also provides a measure of parents' experiences with the educational media their children use: Which subjects do parents feel their children are learning the most about from media? Which platforms do they perceive as being most effective? The study also explores obstacles to greater use of educational media: What are the reasons some children don't use educational media? Finally, all of these issues are explored by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. (author abstract)
