Question 11 • TX-Communication Applications

Oamara is researching the effects of screen time on children’s ability to pay attention. Which resources would be the most likely to have useful information?

Answer
A
an encyclopedia entry about the history of television
B
the blog of a middle-school student who loves video games
C
an interview with someone who has taught fourth grade for 27 years
D
a periodical describing recent research regarding TV time and school performance

Explanation

The question asks about the effects of screen time on children’s attention, so recent research on TV time and school performance is the most directly relevant source. A periodical describing that research is likely to provide evidence about the topic. The other choices discuss television history, one student’s personal interests, or a teacher’s experience rather than research on screen time and attention.
