Student’s Experiences with a Calculus Video-Based Module: A Qualitative Study

Abstract:

This study aims to determine the experience of students in using video-based module. The study was conducted in two public high schools in the Philippines in the second semester of School Year 2021-2022. This qualitative research, specifically narrative inquiry, used ten purposively chosen students as participants based on specific criteria. To elicit the needed data, the participants were given a researcher-made structured interview questionnaire, which were validated by experts. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The groundbreaking findings underscore the transformative potential of video-based modules, unveiling a dynamic realm of learning that effortlessly elevates student retention and engagement. It is evident that harnessing the power of video-based modules stands as a captivating and potent strategy to enhance students' grasp of complex concepts. Furthermore, the modules beckon for broader horizons, with larger-scale studies encompassing diverse populations and innovative data collection methods poised to further illuminate this exciting frontier in education.
