Abstract

The study examined the extent of effectiveness of Visual Video Tutoring on student’ learning in coping with COVID-19 pandemic. The design of the study was descriptive survey and the area of the study was Anambra State, Nigeria. The sample of the study comprised 30 teachers in three selected private schools in Onitsha education zone. The instrument for data collection was structured questionnaire on the effectiveness of visual video tutoring on students learning. One research question and a null hypothesis guided the study. The instrument was validated by three experts and the reliability was established using Cronbach Alpha Co-efficient, which yielded an index of 0.85. Data collected was analysed using mean and standard deviation, while the null hypothesis was tested using t-test statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The major findings of the study indicated that teachers in private secondary schools, to a high extent viewed that Visual Video Tutoring (VVT) is effective for students’ learning. The study recommends that since private schools have successfully used VVT to help students cope and learn, the Government and school administrators in public secondary schools should key into the use of any multimedia platforms to keep the students busy in the face of hazardous situations like pandemic and current security challenges in the country particularly in Anambra State, where students have been compelled to sit at home on Mondays for almost a year, for fear of being attacked by some pressure groups in the state.
