Enhancing Understating Using Videos: Exploring the Role of Videos in Developing Interest and Procedural Understanding of Physics Practical

Abstract

This study explores the use of video in the physics Laboratory as a vital approach for boosting scientific comprehension. Given the importance of video, this study investigates the perspectives of Exploring the Role and Importance of Using Videos in Enhancing the Procedural Understanding of Physics Practical. Interviews and focus groups were used to explore the video’s role and importance in improving procedural understanding of physics practicals. The 10 physics teachers were interviewed and 5 focus groups were conducted. The findings indicate that many positive traits of videos and their advantages for students were obvious although very few students and a significant minority do not share common views in most cases. Student’s and teachers’ responses indicate that videos enhance their interest and were easy to understand was a strong positive response to videos in laboratories, which were considered to enhance procedural understanding easy for students. The teacher’s response tells that they can use videos when laboratory sessions were not possible or expensive material. The study recommends that practice should be handy and interesting with the use of videos.
