Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This research looked into the use of explainer video as a science learning intervention for Grade 4 learners of Liwan West Elementary School. The study utilized the quantitative type of research employing a quasi-experimental research design through the use of experimental and control groups with pre-test and post-test approaches to determine the effectiveness of utilizing video explainers in improving pupils’ academic performance in Science. Data was gathered from 32 Grade 4 pupils. It was analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test and Independent Sample T-Test. Findings revealed that the use of explainer video in teaching Science is more effective than the pure lecture method
