It looked at the elements that enhance pupils’ response to educational television programmes and their hindrances to these programmes, and how audio-visual has affected the learning process. This work will be useful to Designers and presenters of educational television programmes as well as educationalists. Five research questions and one null hypothesis were posed to guide the study to a logical conclusion. A structured questionnaire was designed and administered to a randomly selected one hundred and six (106) pupils. Data generated from the research questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics while the null hypothesis was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics. The findings of this study reaffirmed a high response of primary school pupils to audio-visual learning process and that the use of audio-visual learning process boosts the pupils’ social and intellectual ability to develop. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that the age range of students should be put into consideration; and that well-produced and sponsored educational programmes by government and private organizations should be encouraged.
