Video-based instruction on safety rules in the chemistry laboratory: its effect on student achievement

Abstract

<p>This study explores the effect of video-based instruction on the safety rules in the chemistry laboratory on student achievement. The sample for the study comprised 61 ninth grade students enrolled in two different classes at a public high school. The students in the class designated as the experimental group (<italic>N</italic> = 32) were given video-based instruction on <italic>the safety rules required to be applied in the chemistry laboratory</italic>, while the other class that was designated as the control group (<italic>N</italic> = 29) was taught the same topic, but with traditional instruction. The experimental and control groups were randomly selected, and the same teacher instructed both groups. The students in both groups were administered an academic achievement test on safety rules made up of six open-ended questions as a pretest and as a posttest. The collection of the data took 3 weeks. The pretest was administered in the first week, the posttest in the third week. The data were subjected to content analysis, which was performed as qualitative analysis. It was found as a result of the analysis that the students exposed to video-based instruction showed greater improvement in their academic achievement compared to the students given traditional instruction. The results of the study provide helpful information for chemistry teachers and researchers in the field of chemistry education.</p>

A Transferable Psychological Evaluation of Virtual Reality Applied to Safety Training in Chemical Manufacturing

“…However, the area is still a challenge, and very recent work has demonstrated that there must be an active link between prelaboratory work and laboratory work in order for the advance work to have impact . The current status of this area is that the underlying pedagogy is well understood, but education researchers are still seeking ways to hybridize prepractical and practical work. ,− …”

The Potential of Interactive Teaching Materials of Natural Science Practicum Courses in Elementary School by Distance Learning

“…We need to carry hot containers with a cart. (Sumber: Pekdağ, 2020) The study results indicate that the elementary science practicum is carried out to implement the nature of science learning so that students can interpret the learning process better. Primary science practicum is an activity to verify or prove a fact or natural phenomenon related to science learning material.…”
