Abstract	Children's Television Workshop commissioned a comprehensive survey of the role of educational programing in the nation's elementary schools. The study was conducted by sending questionnaires to a national sample of 1,500 third through sixth grade teachers. The objectives of the study were: (1) to learn about school use of 3-2-1 CONTACT, SQUARE ONE TV, and other programs; (2) to understand how and when these programs are used in schools, and teachers' opinions of the educational value and content of the programs; (3) to describe the market environment for the use of educational programing, including the availability of programs and supporting materials, and influences on the use of programing; and (4) to understand the characteristics of the market, the teachers who comprise it, and related school and district characteristics. Questionnaire items focused on how teachers use programs, teacher assessment of program characteristics, how teachers get information about programing, and teachers' characteristics. Results revealed that media centers and specialists play an important role in providing information about and access to education programs; educational television is used more often for enrichment than for instruction; and teachers prefer programs that deal with a single topic and are 15-30 minutes long. The questionnaire and data tables are appended. (Author/RH)
