Abstract
This research aims at comparing the changes in factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge of heat transfer in learning science using YouTube videos accompanied by discovery learning among fifth graders. A pre-and post-test experimental design was conducted by two different groups. One of the groups was randomly assigned to conduct discovery learning and YouTube videos (n = 21) and the others were to conduct discovery learning and hands-on activities (n = 21). Students in the experimental group used YouTube videos to do the assignments, whereas those in the control group used hands-on activities. Before conducting the treatment, all the students carried out the pre-test. Pre-test analyses showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge of heat transfer. The post-test was conducted by students in two groups after completing four weeks throughout the fall semester of the 2018-2019 Academic Year. The research results revealed that both groups showed various effects on the acquisition of factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge. Well-selected and related video material could enhance student knowledge related to the concept of heat transfer.
