Effectiveness of Using Video Clips in Teaching Grade Six Mathematics

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Schools today are rapidly adapting technology like computers, tablets, laptops, smart phones, and internet technologies. This fast-changing technology really made a disparity in the way schools are delivering knowledge to the students. In spite of this innovation, some stakeholders do not fully understand how this instructional investment can affect the performance of the learners. Technology nowadays is common among schools, offices, and to every individual, as this supports learning and helps in developing knowledge, wherein, integration is the use of technology to enhance, reiterate, present, and assess how students understand the syllabus or the program.On the other hand, videotape recorders can be used in a number of different ways to enhance teaching and learning in both large groups and small groups.

Similarly, the use of videos in class had the advantage of enabling students to have repeated exposure to the subject matter. The utilization of video clips has unique features that make it an important medium for mathematics learning, most especially in elementary interface.

METHODS

The researcher used the descriptive and quantitative method of research in gathering data and information on the effectiveness of using video clips in teaching Grade VI Mathematics for school year 2018-2019a researcher-made questionnaire and test, as data gathering instruments.

RESULTS

It is evident that video should be used more frequently in Mathematics teaching and learning.It is clear that video assists in the connection of component pieces of understanding into a whole. Students like to see real people in real situations they can relate to. The selection of appropriate video clips and methodology for their display within the teaching materials represents an important issue for curriculum design, leading to positive learning outcomes.

DISCUSSIONS

Teaching Mathematics in public elementary schools require strategies to achieve positive results. Since many factors affect the learning capabilities of the pupils. Today's learners experience different technologies in their everyday lives which should also be adapted by the teachers to improve the learning experience inside the classroom. The results of the study will lead to an enhancement program to Mathematics instruction in Grade 6. The academic research will determine the effectiveness of the video clips and will create a program to further develop pupils' engagement in Mathematics.
