Assessments were conducted on three levels: comprehension and delayed recall of educational content, parental observations of learning, and transfer of learning. Results indicated that 48–65% of children recalled problem-solving content after a 1–2 week delay, and 98% of parents reported examples of children’s real-life learning. Repeat viewing of playful problem solving episodes significantly predicted pretest-posttest gains in hands-on transfer tasks, with increases in both the variety of problem-solving heuristics used and the efficiency of children’s process. There were no significant effects on children’s solutions, suggesting children modeled process skills and did not simply learn right answers. Thus, data support Sesame Street’s educational impact on process skills, and demonstrate benefits of playful learning that can be obtained by viewing televised models.","PeriodicalId":510779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"5 15","pages":"334 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between theory and practice, however, is most productive when seen as reciprocal, existing in an iterative relationship with each influencing the other in turn. This paper reflects on the Sesame Street production and research described earlier in this special section, drawing lessons and implications for future theory and research. Implications are also drawn for future productions of Sesame Street and its international co-productions, extensions into ancillary media, and, more broadly, educational media in general, informed by a global advisory panel and the development of a global theoretical framework for future multiplatform content creation. Beyond informing Sesame Workshop’s approach to creativity and playful problem solving, this paper offers a model for media makers seeking to bridge the research-practice gap.","PeriodicalId":510779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"7 9","pages":"367 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deepest and most engaging learning happens during guided play. In guided play, adults might prepare an environment and set a learning goal, but children get to direct their own play and exploration towards that goal. Research suggests that guided play fosters math skills, shape knowledge, task switching, spatial vocabulary, literacy, language, social interaction, and physical activity. The intersection of play and the intentionality of having a learning goal holds great potential as a pedagogical approach that can be applied to technology, community spaces, and to classrooms. We describe current directions in: (1) the conceptualization of guided play, (2) areas for implementing this approach in formal and informal education (including television and digital applications, as in the case of Sesame Street), and (3) future opportunities and challenges.","PeriodicalId":510779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"2 15","pages":"309 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this educational need, Sesame Street designed a playful problem-solving curriculum to help foster preschoolers’ curiosity, critical thinking skills, creativity, and perseverance which are foundational skills to instill a positive approach to learning. Following the Sesame Workshop Model, formative research played a critical role in Sesame Street story development, especially with a new curriculum focus that involved a unique story format designed to support preschoolers’ comprehension. We conducted formative research, in schools (prior to the COVID-19 pandemic) and virtually (during the COVID-19 pandemic), wherein children aged 3–5 years old watched a rough draft version of an in-progress script (a “storymatic”) and researchers analyzed children’s comprehension. Findings guided script development to enhance the educational impact of each story.","PeriodicalId":510779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"349 3","pages":"322 - 333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the case study of an evaluation of children’s learning from Sesame Street, this methodological paper discusses challenges of assessing preschool children’s hands-on problem solving remotely via video chat, as well as techniques that were used to overcome these challenges, to yield rich, reliable data. These techniques pertained to every phase of the research: materials and preparatiory work prior to data collection, procedural and technical considerations during sessions (including enlisting assistance from the children’s parents), managing children’s behavior, preventing parents from influencing their children’s responses, and considerations during data analysis. Although remote methods should not replace in-person research in all cases, they hold the potential for increasing the geographic and demographic diversity of samples, thus producing more representative and generalizable data.","PeriodicalId":510779,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Media","volume":"362 19","pages":"351 - 366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
