Abstract

This study examined the effect of YouTube audio-visual documentaries (YAVDs) on students' achievement and interest in History in Enugu state, Nigeria. Six hypotheses guided the study using a quasi-experimental research design. Multi-stage sampling techniques were used to sample 70 Senior Secondary two students (SS2) in four intact classes. Data were collected using History Achievement Test (HAT), which yielded 0.65 reliability index using Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR₂₀), and History Interest Inventory Scale (HIIS), which yielded 0.78 reliability index using Cronbach Alpha. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the null hypotheses at .05 significant level. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the achievement and interest of students taught History using YouTube Audio-visual documentaries (YAVDs) and those taught without. Recommendations focused on teachers' empowerment by the governments on how the use of YAVDs in teaching History.

摘要

这项研究调查了YouTube视听纪录片（YAVD）对学生在尼日利亚Enugu州的成就和对历史的兴趣的影响。六个假设指导了使用准实验研究设计的研究。多阶段采样技术被用于对四个完整班级的70名高中两个学生（SS2）进行采样。使用历史成就测试（HAT）收集数据，使用Kuder-Richardson公式20（KR ₂₀）获得0.65可靠性指标）和历史兴趣量表（HIIS），使用Cronbach Alpha得出的可靠性指数为0.78。协方差分析（ANCOVA）用于检验.05显着水平的原假设。调查结果表明，使用YouTube视听纪录片（YAVD）授课的学生和没有使用YouTube视听纪录片的学生在学习历史上的成就和兴趣之间存在显着差异。建议的重点是政府授权教师如何在历史教学中使用YAVD。
