Abstract
Videos are widely used teaching materials in education. The current research aimed to conduct an examination of the effects that different educational videos prepared for the distance education model had on the motivation, interest, and course preparation processes of students for mathematics courses. A total of 106 (80 females and 26 males) mathematics teacher candidates agreed to participate in the current study. Two different educational videos were used in the study. The first of these was prepared by the educator, while the second was taken from the Khan Academy education videos. It was determined that, although the educational videos prepared by the educator made no significant difference with regard to the motivation of the students toward the course, there was a significant difference with regard to the level of interest in the course. On the other hand, the Khan Academy videos were found to have a significant effect on the pre-test as well as the post-test scores of the motivation of students toward the course, but did not result in a significant difference in their interest in the course.
Highlights
The concepts of distance or online teaching, and distance education are approaches that are not new (Williamson et al, 2020), rather they are interdisciplinary concepts that have emerged in the recent history of humanity (Bozkurt, 2019)
The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the pre and posttest motivation scores of the student participants in group I [z=-.666, p>.05]
The effects of educational videos prepared for distance education on the motivation, interest, and course preparation processes of students were examined
Summary
The concepts of distance or online teaching, and distance education are approaches that are not new (Williamson et al, 2020), rather they are interdisciplinary concepts that have emerged in the recent history of humanity (Bozkurt, 2019). The rapid spread of COVID-19 has made it mandatory for many universities across the globe to implement the use of distance education As technology develops, it continues to offer new learning opportunities to learners (Bozkurt, 2019). Online videos are easy to access and interesting for the new generation of students; they have an area of use in new learning approaches (Sahin et al, 2015). Online videos affect both individual and collective education. Students usually prefer watching videos rather than reading to prepare for courses (Sahin et al, 2015) These videos are innovative teaching tools that have positive effects for students with regard to their motivation (Bravo et al, 2011)
