Impact of Animated Videos on Academic Achievement of Students in Physics at the Secondary Level

Abstract

Science education is crucial in today's world because all progress comes from scientific progress. Providing scientific knowledge is a fundamental responsibility of any society. The development of a highly qualified scientific workforce relies on the use of effective teaching methods combined with supporting tools. The researcher employed an experimental method to test the treatment variable, i.e., animated videos. A pretest-posttest control group design was used in the present study. All students of grade 9 studying physics in various institutions under the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) were the population of the study. The researcher selected students of IMCB, G-9/4 as practical samples and distributed them in control and experimental groups randomly. The research tool was a multiple-choice test, consisting of 20 questions, designed by the researcher. The data was personally collected, organized, and analyzed by the researcher. The results revealed a significant difference in students' academic performance in physics when taught with animated videos compared to traditional teaching methods. The researcher achieved all the objectives of the study and recommended extending this approach to other science subjects, such as chemistry, biology, and mathematics.
