The Effect of Educational Videos Used in History Education on Academic Success

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to examine and assess the videos used in history education. In the study, the academic success levels of the students who received their history education through videos that comprise of voice, text, animation and sound components. Also, answers to the question of whether there is any difference in the academic success levels of students who received their education through video components were looked for, via 50 multiple-choice questions. Furthermore, the views and experiences of students on the topic of the education given were researched through 7 semi-structured qualitative questions. In the research; three short videos used in history education that were prepared in different styles were used. Two of these videos were merged due to them sharing the same topic. The study universe consists of about 400 students at high school (9th grade) level in Ağrı province. The sample was chosen by using purposeful sampling method. According to the acquired findings; history education videos were noted to be of vital contribution to motivation and learning. While it may make it easier to determine which topics and styles cause gaps in learning, the results obtained in this research, it may also contribute greatly to improve and solve these.

Development of Enterprise Architecture in Senior High School Using TOGAF as Framewrok

“…That the results of the Business Architecture modeling to meet the target to be achieved, step is to analyze the gap (Gap Analysis). The analysis conducted on business processes running at this time, then analyzing settlement solutions [23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Mechanics Knowledge Enhanced with Videos Illustrating Concepts Experienced with Hands-on Activities

“…Another important aspect to reconsider for subsequent video implementation is the content of the survey provided to students. As done by [4], [7], [8], the inclusion of open response questions should be incorporated into the survey. The specific details, such as what questions to ask and how many to include remain to be determined, but it is clear from the previously mentioned works that they add a great deal of value to the reflection process.…”

“…While the survey incorporated student self-assessment of knowledge, the use of a more objective gauge would likely be of greater value. As described in the work of [8], a questionnaire consisting of a series of multiple choice questions about the concepts could be used to assess knowledge. This idea is expected to be taken a step further in later years to assess memory retention through the use of iClicker questions, which will be based on each of the activity topics and asked in upper year mechanics courses.…”

“…The concept of supplementing student learning with course content based videos has been previously explored by many [1] - [3]. Through various means the benefits they can pose, along with alternative methods that can be utilized to assess such benefits, have been determined [3] - [8].…”

“…As demonstrated by [4], a useful metric for evaluation can be the amount of views associated with each video. In addition, some researchers [4] - [8] have implemented surveys as a principal means of assessing success from the student perspective. As done by [4], [6], [7], these surveys may incorporate a series of statements about the videos for which students are instructed to indicate their agreement based on a Likert scale.…”
