Educational entertainment (also referred to by the portmanteau edutainment) is media designed to educate through entertainment and a term used as early as 1954 by Walt Disney. Most often it includes content intended to teach but has incidental entertainment value.
Similarly, it is asked, what is entertainment theory?
"Entertainment theory seeks to understand not how we effect the media but more importantly what entertaining media content does to us unconsciously."
Also, how is television useful in the field of education?
TV can act as a catalyst to get kids reading—following up on TV programs by getting books on the same subjects or reading authors whose work was adapted for the programs. Television can teach kids important values and life lessons. Educational programming can develop young children's socialization and learning skills.
