摘要：This study aimed at determining the influence of watching various programmes by the Senior Secondary School Students via Satellite Channels as means of learning some hidden curriculum. Two hundred and fifty six senior secondary school students were involved in the study to determine the students’ interests and frequency of watching various programmes via satellite channels. The results and discussion of the study suggests that both male and female frequently watch satellite programmes due to the interests they developed for them. The findings revealed that the students had interests for watching audio visuals for fun and entertainment rather than watching such to upgrade their knowledge bank academically. Considering the findings, it was recommended that the students’ interests for fun and entertainments could be re-directed toward educative channels as medium of teaching and learning. Also, incorporating such medium into classroom instruction could ease teachers’ bulk of work, thus bringing relevant examples to enhance better comprehension closer to the learners. This could be achieved by organizing seminars, workshops and trainings for teachers and students on how to harmonize the use of audio-visuals via satellite channels for effective teaching and learning.
