Abstract

A video-based learning (VBL) has long practically been used in the education environment to help students enhance their level of understanding. Educational content for VBL has been widely produced on various platforms to support achieving the optimum level of student performance. Additionally, the concept of edutainment using video in education is gaining traction, particularly in children's learning. Implementing the edutainment notion into the learning process is a critical component of successful learning. Previous research has examined the beneficial effects of edutainment using video for learning purposes. It has been shown to improve the effectiveness of the learning process and generate enjoyable learning experiences for students. As the paper is aimed at children, the EMV can capture their attention even more than a standard educational video does due to its interactive content. However, studies on edutainment for educational music videos, in particular, have not been studied much. Thus, the objective of this paper is two-fold; i) to review and discuss the conceptual approach of edutainment and its significance towards student learning experiences, and ii) to propose the component and element of edutainment in the educational music video (EMV) for children learning. The findings of this study outline the characteristics of edutainment that can be utilised as criteria for selecting the finest EMV in learning for children.

Highlights

  • In recent years, video-based learning (VBL) is gaining more attention in the field of education

  • Numerous previous studies have established the efficacy of edutainment in the classroom, utilising various platforms and media kinds [52]

  • Two objectives were defined in this study: i) to ascertain the significance of the edutainment concept in learning and its impact on students, and ii) to conduct comparative analysis to discover the component and element of edutainment in EMV for children’s learning

Summary

Introduction

Video-based learning (VBL) is gaining more attention in the field of education. The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has emphasised the importance of VBL in facilitating the learning process and achieving learning objectives more efficiently. Prior studies shows that using VBL media can significantly improve student learning results when learning online [1]–[3]. VBL can be practiced when educational video content is being used as learning materials. The different purposes for using video materials include providing examples of best practices, encouraging discussions, and enhancing blended learning environments [5]. Due to the massive volume of educational videos produced nowadays, it has created an excellent opportunity for academic practitioners to maximise the use of this learning material with students. The approaches include diversifying digital learning support materials such as EMV in the learning process
