Undergraduate students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards the use of instructional videos in organic chemistry

Abstract

The integration of instructional videos has become more rampant as the technology continues to evolve, bringing major changes to teaching and learning. Instructional videos brought a great impact on teaching and learning for they gave students and teachers as alternative way of delivering instruction and as well as learning Organic Chemistry concepts in an easy way. This study determined the knowledge, attitudes and practices of undergraduate students towards the use of instructional videos in Organic Chemistry. Further, it also ascertained in determining the significant difference on the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices based on their age, sex, year level, campus, and program. A descriptive research design was used in the study. It is deemed appropriate in order to determine the extent of the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards the use of instructional videos in Organic Chemistry based on their demographic variables. Findings of this study revealed that students are knowledgeable (Mean=3.40 ± 0.46), show positive attitudes (Mean=3.45 ± 0.55), and exhibit exemplary practices (Mean=3.32 ± 0.63) towards the use of instructional videos in Organic Chemistry with an overall qualitative description of “Agree”. Furthermore, there is significant difference on the students’ knowledge, attitudes and practices towards the use of instructional videos in Organic Chemistry in terms of their age, year level, campus, and program, thus, there is not enough evidence to support the null hypothesis. Based on their sex, there is significant difference on their attitudes while knowledge and practices show no significance.
