“…YouTube provides a diverse array of content sources, including lectures, tutorials, and real-time examples (Dyosi & Hattingh, 2018;Sulistianingsih et al, 2019), employing versatile methods for content explanation (Jackman and P. Roberts, 2014). Lastly, approximately 15% of the benefits associated with utilizing YouTube in education are attributed to its free, easily accessible, and convenient nature, as indicated by ( Sulistianingsih, 2019;Mukwakungu, Bakama, & Mbohwa, 2019).…”

This communication describes an educational practice developed in the Chemistry subject, of the first year of the Degree in Electrical Engineering (University of Malaga, Spain). Based on the selection of a series of alternative methodologies to direct instruction, the students, through a prior inquiry process, have made, using the social network YouTube, an explanatory video of various points or important concepts included in the program of the subject. Based on the analysis of the videos (a total of 12), a questionnaire has been designed to determine the students' perceptions in relation to the tool and its educational implications, to which a total of 50 students responded. Based on the information collected, the students positively value the use of YouTube as a teaching resource, as well as the practice itself, highlighting a series of elements derived from the proposed teaching-learning process, such as creativity, fun and motivation in the acquisition of knowledge. Therefore, starting from the proposed research context, and taking into account its limitations, it can be determined that YouTube allows the development of communication skills, as well as the learning-to-learn competence, through autonomous, inquiring and experiential learning.

“…So, YouTube offers various sources of content such as lectures, tutorials, and real-time examples [88], [95] and uses versatile ways for content explanation [92]. Finally, 15% of the advantages of using YouTube in education are linked to its free, easy, and convenient access according to [95], [96]. The challenges of using YouTube for education can be divided into four categories as illustrated in Fig.…”

YouTube has evolved to a global platform for formal and informal education. In contrast to traditional sources of learning multimedia, YouTube is a social platform with numerous characteristics that make its real value for education not obvious. We neither know how reliable the learning content on YouTube is, what best-practice strategies for using this platform in education are nor how watching YouTube affects students' performance and behavior. To shed light on these questions, we conducted a scoping review of the literature on YouTube and education. A total of 647 publications were included and analyzed thematically. Four research themes could be identified: (1) Content creation and assessment (2) User attitudes and acceptance (3) Usage strategies and behaviors (4) Impact on student learning. The findings of the respective studies were analyzed and compiled theme by theme. The main results of this review are: (1) There is an increasing concern about content quality on YouTube. (2) Despite versatile production and usage strategies, no relationships were established between such strategies and learning.(3) Most studies on the impact of YouTube on student learning reported positive results in the form of enhanced skills, competencies, interest, motivation, engagement levels, or test performance. We conclude that YouTube is a rich, free, easy-to-use, and enjoyable source of learning content. However, the challenges and risks associated with this platform suggest that it is best suitable for guided learning where teachers make or select the content and include it in a well-defined, pedagogy-driven learning context.
