Page "Sesame Street" Paragraph 1

The show has undergone significant changes throughout its history.

The format of Sesame Street consists of a combination of commercial television production elements and educational techniques which have evolved to reflect the changes in American culture and the audience's viewing habits.

With the creation of Sesame Street, producers and writers of a children's television show used, for the first time, educational goals and a curriculum to shape its content.

It was also the first time a show's educational effects on young children were studied, and the first time both summative and formative research were reflected in a television show's content.
