Knowledge Clip as Innovative Pedagogy: It’s Effectiveness on Student Engagement at Higher Secondary School Level

Abstract

Video-based teaching is a recent trend in modern pedagogy, including first-party (instructor-created) and third-party (online available) videos. Knowledge clips (KCs) are 5-6 minutes of instructor-created videos designed by keeping in mind students' attention spans and learning needs. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Knowledge-Clip on students' in-class Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral engagement at the Higher Secondary School level. Moreover, a comparison of the engagement level of students among the control and experimental group was also investigated before and after an intervention. This study used a mix-method approach followed by a Quasi-experimental research design and pre and post-test design. As a research sample, n=86 Biology students from one college of Rawalpindi were selected through a purposive and convenient sampling technique. Quantitative data analysis was done by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Whereas, Qualitative data analysis was done through thematic analysis. The study's findings indicated the effectiveness of KCs on students' in-class Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral engagement at the HSSC level. Teachers are recommended to create colorful and appealing KCs with thought-provoking questions to improve students' engagement level at the HSSC level. Furthermore, training regarding the utilization of easy software (PowerPoint) for creating KCs may be arranged for teachers.
