Teacher Nenita discourages her students to watch TV excessively. The average student spends about twenty-four hours watching television in a week. According to research, how is learning affected by extensive TV viewing?
- A.
  
  Short attention span
- B.
  
  Enhanced creativity
- C.
  
  Improved thinking skills
- D.
  
  Improved communication skills
Correct Answer
A. Short attention span

Explanation
Extensive TV viewing can lead to a short attention span. Research has shown that spending excessive time watching television can negatively impact a person's ability to concentrate and focus on tasks. This is because television often involves quick scene changes, fast-paced storytelling, and frequent interruptions from commercials, which can train the brain to seek constant stimulation and make it harder to sustain attention for longer periods of time. Therefore, it is understandable why Teacher Nenita discourages her students from watching TV excessively, as it can hinder their learning abilities.

Additionally, an engaging learning environment embraces innovations in enhancing learning for all types of learners, ensuring that diverse needs are met. However, centralized governance refers to a top-down decision-making structure, which may limit autonomy and hinder the flexibility needed for an engaging learning environment.
