This text reproduces the introduction and conclusions of “Children under three years and Television: Research perspectives and debate (1999-2010)” published by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.
At the literature review, it is established that the presence of television and other electronic media is central to the daily lives of children. Also, that the number of hours spent in front of the screen tends to increase over time, according to age growth and TV presence in children´s room. Although many of the videos and TV shows directed to children under three years indicate the pursue of educational goals, it has not been clearly established whether the products reach these objectives.
In relation to childhood, the Ministry of Culture is particularly interested in questions such as: What kind of television is appropriate for children?, At what ages? In addition to its specific content and stories: What other kind of relationships could be established by children with the mediation of the screen?, How useful is it, and especially, what kind of television can help make life of children more worth in Colombian? The ministry of Culture encourages Colombian researchers and producers to undertake similar quests, and especially invites them to use research criteria into the design, production and broadcasting decisions of audiovisual content for children.
