He switched it on, not off?
If so, there could be two explanations:
- the TV is in another room, where Ivan's younger sibling is now occupied watching, no longer distracting Ivan from homework.
- Ivan wants to train his unshakable attention by exposing himself to the distraction of the TV.

Ivan switched on the TV
But wait, wouldn't they be confused about the TV being on, since it's traditionally a source of distraction?

Crafted this question for my fifth graders. What do you think the answer is?
