Abstract

This study examined the Effect of Instructional Videos on Attitudes, Academic Performance and Retention in Digestive System among Senior Secondary Students in Katsina State. The study developed six research objectives, answered six research questions, and tested six research hypotheses. The study utilized Quasi-experimental research design. The population of the study covered 3,139 students from 23 secondary schools in Daura Zonal Education Quality Assurance Katsina State Nigeria, Purposive and Cluster Sampling technique were used to sample two schools, with a sample size of 120 students. Two instruments were used for data collection namely Digestive System Performance Test (DSPT) with a reliability coefficient of 0.72., and Digestive System Attitude Questionnaire (DSAQ) with a reliability coefficient of 0.79. The Research questions were answered and analyze using mean and standard deviation, while null hypotheses were tested at p<0.05 level of ‘significance using independent sample t-test the findings of the study revealed that significant difference exist in the attitude, academic performance and retention of students taught using instructional videos and those taught using conventional teaching method. Students in the experimental group developed and obtained a significantly high positive attitude, academic performance and retention respectively than students in the control group. It was concluded that Instructional videos enhance students’ attitude, academic performance and retention in digestive system concept if use in a right way, Instructional videos helps in enhancing attitude, academic performance and retention in gender as indicated by insignificant gender difference. It was recommended that teachers should be encouraged to teach using Instructional videos so as to enhance students’ attitude towards digestive system and improve in academic performance and retention.
