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
