EFFECTS OF VIDEO-BASED WEBSITES ON SENIOR SCHOOL STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE IN SELECTED MATHEMATICS CONCEPTS IN KWARA STATE NIGERIA

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Video-Based Websites on Senior School Students' Performance in Selected Mathematics Concepts in Kwara State. The research utilized a quasi-experimental design, specifically a pretest-posttest, non-randomized, control group design with a 2 x 3 x 4 factorial design. The sample consisted of 30 participants for YouTube, 35 for Vimeo, 45 for Facebook, and 42 in the control group, drawn from JSS II classes in four selected schools. Schools A, B, and C were designated experimental groups, while School C the control group. Intact classes were selected using purposive sampling. Four research questions were formulated and answered, while two hypotheses were tested. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 20.0 at a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a positive effect of YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook on students' mean performance scores, although no significant difference was observed between these platforms and the conventional teaching method. The study concluded that appropriate video-based websites such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook can enhance learning among secondary school students. It recommended further research to explore the long-term effects of multimedia technology in education and its impact on various subject areas and student populations to gain a deeper understanding of its potential benefits and inform future educational practices.
