Abstract

The subject dealt in this article is the kind of influence television has upon the pre-school children from the municipal school Livia Menna Barreto, in Santa Maria. This university work was based on the sociointeractionist methodology which takes in consideration that students and teachers may do their roles together in interaction, and that student’s previous knowledge shall be considered in it. To do it, a field research was done through a questionnaire answered by the students and by the student’s parents. The main aim of it was investigating, discussing and analyzing how those students were using television, and also checking its influence upon their social lives. Through the data, it is possible to say that all members of the target public have a television at their homes and suffer its influence. According to student’s parents, television influences student’s habits, clothing, feeding, plays and music among other things; in this sense, the parents think they need to be alert about TV programs and channels because these ones may have a positive or a negative influence upon student’s behavior.
