Television Viewing of Higher Secondary Students: Does It Affect Their Academic Achievement and Mathematical Reasoning?
Abstract
The impact of TV viewing on academic achievement and mathematical reasoning was examined in a group of 654 higher secondary students (368 boys, 286 girls) from Maharashtra, India. Both among boys and girls, TV viewing had significant negative correlations with academic achievement. TV viewing and mathematical reasoning were negatively correlated among boys only. Heavy viewers of television were poor, compared to light viewers, in their academic achievement and mathematical reasoning. Significant gender differences were noted both in academic achievement and mathematical reasoning. TV viewing explained 13% of the variance in the academic achievement of the students.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
