Abstract (English): Nowadays television plays an important role in the socialization of children and adolescents, by making available a wide range of models of behaviour. However, watching television is an activity that takes place, mainly, in a family context. Therefore, the family has an important mediating role. A study conducted in Coimbra with students from the 4th, 6th and 8th grades, suggests that family mediation should be more intentional and more frequent, in order to promote the development of active and critical TV viewers.

Abstract (Spanish): La televisión desempeña un papel fundamental en la socialización de la infancia, proporcionando desde muy pronto un amplio repertorio de pautas de conductas. La familia es el primer contexto en el que se genera el contacto con el medio televisivo. En este trabajo se recoge un estudio realizado en Portugal, distrito de Coimbra, con una muestra de 820 alumnos de 4, 6 y 8 años de escolaridad, a través de un cuestionario de hábitos televisivos, en el que se concluye que la televisión debería ser un instrumento más rentabilizado en la familia con fines educativos.
