Media Screens. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 128
Recent studies indicate a steep rise in the amount
of time children spend viewing screen media.
Available literature suggests the impact this may
have on their face to face human interaction with
others in their environment, which, in turn, could
impact their competence in communicative situations.
This monograph describes a Doctoral research project
undertaken to study how much time 4 to 6-year-old
children spent viewing screen media, whether a
difference in the time spent viewing any form of
screen media was related to their communicative
competence as suggested by the literature, and the
strength of this relationship if it existed. Results
reveal interesting insights into the somewhat
contrasting impacts of media screen exposure/
viewing on different aspects of communicative
development of preschool children.
