The Effect of Video Magazines on Secondary School Students' Academic Achievement and Digital Technology Attitudes: An Experimental Study
Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology, v13 n2 p48-62 2025
Video magazines can make students' learning experience more effective by adding a different dimension to the learning process. This learning experience can create changes in students' attitudes and behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of video magazines in the experimental group. It printed magazines in the control group on middle school pupils' academic performance and attitudes toward digital technology. The research study group comprises 5th-grade children enrolled in a state-affiliated secondary school in the Arnavutköy district of Istanbul during the academic year 2023-2024. One of the two identical fifth-grade classes at the school was designated as the control group, while the other was given the experimental group. Both the control group and the experimental group consisted of 27 students each. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach and used quantitative analysis protocols. An examination of the accomplishment test revealed a notable disparity in the post-test scores between the experimental and control groups. Consequently, it was concluded that the experimental group received instruction using video magazines and achieved superior scores. Upon analysis of the post-tests of the attitude scale between the experimental and control groups, a notable disparity was observed in the sub-dimensions of "social networks," "instructional technology use," "technology for personal use," and "use for entertainment purposes." The use of video magazines in teaching is of significant importance. The results were deliberated over in relationship to the existing body of knowledge, and recommendations were put forward.
