SesameStreet and BarneyThe Dinosaur are two popular
educational shows for children. Are they really teaching kids with the
right techniques? Are they teaching kids anything at all? It's a battle to
see which is better: Barney or Sesame Street. SesameStreet and
Barney have totally different teaching techniques. Sesame Street
captivates the audience with high joltage and fast scenes. The child
barely understands what is going on and when they understand that
scene, it's over and the next scene is almost done. The child does not
learn well under these circumstances. Barney does not have the same
JPM as SesameStreet but it still attracts the audiences' attention. The
show is slower and more understandable than Sesame Street.
Barney focuses on one topic for every show. The one that I watched,
entitled "Up We Go", was about flying. You learn about kites, birds,
planes and more. You get more out of the show than if it was about
many topics like Sesame Street. The one we saw had many topics like
eating healthy, dental hygiene, the airport and more. The child can have
an overload of ideas for one day and get all mixed up.Both Barney and
Sesame Street have songs in them. I found that Barney had many more
songs than Sesame Street. The songs are used as jolts and they work
well in getting the attention of the child. I found that theBarney songs
were much catchier than theSesameStreet songs. They were slower,
and other than the dancing, there was not much else happening. On
Sesame Street, the background was changing, things were flying and
colors were jumping. The attention was not put on the song by the kids, it
was put on the actions on the screen. Barney, like Sesame Park,
showed minimal biases regarding sex and race. The cast consisted of
three boys and three girls. One boy was disabled but was as able as the
other kids. The races on the show were mixed. They consisted of a
Latino boy, a Chinese girl, an African-American girl and more. On
Sesame Street there was less of a mix of races. They just had the
primary races of the United States like African-Americans and Latinos.
While watching Barney, I noticed that a main focus was
imagination and 'Playing Pretend'. This shows that the show is aimed at
four and five year old children and h that much younger. Sesame Street
is aimed for all ages. Who won the battle? I think it was Barney.
They are both great children shows but SesameStreet is to much energy
for kids, and it does not teach about friendship and politeness as Barney
does. That is one of the most important things in life. Barney also taught
about reading, math, shapes and colors. Barney has solid educational
value, and without the overuse of jolts, they teach the kids.
