Transcript Net Generation Recall – Traditional versus online teaching

Using
in the
classroom.
Does it enhance learning?
Presenter: Colette Murphy AIT
• YouTube has huge potential (Markham,
2008).
• Been used as a vast educational resource
(Duffin, 2010).
• Complement traditional lectures.
• Are students learning from YouTube?
• Is it a case of, you get what you pay for?
• Learning revolution in the classroom
(Oblinger, 2005a).
• Students today have grown up with technology
(Oblinger, 2005b).
• Classrooms that incorporate technology promote a
more productive and enriched learning environment
(Burke, Synder, & Rager 2009).
• Educators have become increasingly comfortable in letting
students learn by viewing (Duffin, 2010).
• YouTube is at the forefront of student engagement
(Barnes, Marateo & Ferris, 2007; Burke et al. 2009; Mullen
& Wedwick 2008; Shea & Sheerer, 2008).
Learned
• No studies examined YouTube effectiveness
• Only Burke et al. (2009) acknowledged this lack of
research.
Research Question
• Is a participant’s recall of a YouTube lesson as accurate as the
recall of a Traditional Lesson?
Hypothesis
• Students who view instructions via YouTube will have a greater
recall of a lesson, over those who have seen the instructions via
traditional teaching methods.
Design / Procedure
•
•
•
•
3 Groups (Paper, YouTube, Traditional).
3 Lessons (10 min lessons).
2 Questionnaire’s (before / after).
Follow Up (1 Week).
Participants
• Over 18.
• 20 per group.
• No Ethics Issues.
Materials
• Prepared Video (YouTube).
• Lesson Plan (Paper / YouTube / Traditional).
• Use of Classroom.
Results
•
SPSS software-(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).
Results
• Study supports that retention was not significantly
better.
• No significant recall difference for either gender.
Impact
• This study suggests that YouTube is a viable
teaching resource, to supplement course content.
• Online education.
Future
• Test for effectiveness with different age groups
(Mature Learners).
• Test Postgraduate against Undergraduate.
