Comparision of acheivement of higher certificate of education students in learning "Education 18:Teaching Science Behavior" between video tape series and lecture method
Abstract:
Purpose : 1. To construction a videotape series in Teaching Science Behaviors. 2. To compare the achievement of Higher Certificate of Education Students in Teaching Science Behaviors between learning from videotape series and the lecture method. Procedure : First, the investigator constructed TV scripts for the series and rehearsed before videotaping the program. Then, the test of 100 items on Teaching Science Behaviors was constructed and tried out to determine reliability and validity. Only 50 items of high validity were employed. Two groups of 82 students randomly selected from 153 first year students of Higher Certificate of Education were experimented. The control group (41 students) learned Teaching Science Behaviors from lectures; the experimental group ( 41 students) studied from the videotape series. The data , collected from both groups in three experiments, were computed to determine the significant difference of achievement with the Z test at the .05 level. Result : It was found that there was a significant difference in achievement between the control and experimental groups at .05 level. The students achievement in learning Teaching Science Behaviors from videotape series performed better at the posttests than those learning from the lecture methods. Recommendations : In using videotape series in Teaching Science Behaviors, it is recommended that (1) the instructor should have a thorough understanding of television medium, and television presentations, live, or prevideotape; (2) cooperation from concerned production personnel are needed to guarantee efficiency of the program, (3) film footages selected for inserts should be very relevant to the content and students experience. If possible, foreign sound versions should be dubbed into Thai; (4) each television presentation should be about 35 40 minutes long, and used for specific purposes, such as Science demonstrations where steps and details could be observed; and (5) while using videotaped lessons, the instructor should be present in class to motivate students interest.
