This summary of the 1982-83 School Utilization Study updates and extends the results of a 1976-77 study of school utilization of instructional television and examines changes in instructional television availability and use patterns between 1977 and 1983. The study reported surveyed 619 school superintendents, 1,350 principals, and 2,700 teachers about in-school instructional applications of programming and equipment in the areas of audio/radio, instructional television, computers, and other media. Following an introduction and overall summary of the major findings, the availability of instructional media is considered in more detail. An analysis of instructional media use is drawn primarily from teacher questionnaire responses. Data on support for instructional media are reported, including financial support, support personnel, and district and school policy. Included are 121 data tables and technical appendices containing a summary of the study design and procedures, copies of the 1983 survey instrument, a discussion of the study reliability, supporting tables for reported results, and a list of study advisory committee members.

A sampling of teachers from two school districts was interviewed to determine the amount of use and factors affecting utilization of ITV programs in the classroom. The findings revealed a high percentage of teachers using ITV programs in their classes. Physical surroundings had the greatest influence on TV usage. Unavailability of TV sets and poor reception of the TV signal hamper teachers usage of ITV. The teachers who used ITV incorporated the elements of pre-program preparation of the student: or what they we r e about to view and follow-up materials after the program. Most of the teachers felt that ITV was moderately effective as a teaching tool.
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the level of teacher competence concerning instructional television and the need for university training for future teachers. The secondary purpose of the study was to determine the availability, accessibility and utilization of instructional television equipment in elementary and secondary schools in the State of Utah. The principals of 400 elementary and secondary schools were the respondents in this study. A questionnaire was designed to acquire information on the following: (1) What degree of sophistication and types of television equipment are presently available in schools in the State of Utah; (2) what major problems are encountered by teachers using television; and (3) are the universities in the state adequately preparing teachers in the use of instructional television as an instructional medium. The results of the survey suggest that universities should offer prospective teachers hands-on experience in television utilization and production. An overwhelming majority of school principals (91 percent) indicated that universities should be doing this job. The results indicated what type of and how much equipment Utah schools presently have. In addition the survey showed the type of productions and programs that teachers are presently doing with television equipment. The results also identified several specific problem areas teachers now have.
