Use of Didactic Videos for Enhancing Natural Sciences Learning

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the influence of didactic video workshops on strengthening the learning of Natural Sciences among students. Based on Feenberg's Theory of Technological Transformation and Piaget's Constructivism, the methodology was applied with a quantitative approach and a pre-experimental design. A sample of 65 students was divided into control (30) and experimental (35) groups. A 25-item questionnaire was used to measure learning levels in the subject, along with 16 sessions involving didactic videos. The Wilcoxon test revealed significant differences between related samples following a normality analysis. The results showed an improvement from 62.90% to 65.70% when using didactic videos, indicating that audiovisual materials significantly benefit teaching Natural Sciences to basic education students.
