The Potential of Video Recordings Incorporated With Teaching Modules Towards Student Learning Performance

This study investigated the potential of incorporating video recordings into teaching modules to enhance student learning performance among students from DKA 4A and DKA 4B enrolled in the Water Quality Laboratory course during the 2024–2025 academic session 1. The objectives of the research were to evaluate the impact of video-incorporated laboratory modules on students’ understanding of laboratory procedures, assess their accessibility and usability, and determine their effectiveness compared to traditional lab manuals. Data were collected using a Google Form questionnaire divided into three sections, each using a five-point Likert scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” Findings from Section A, which focused on understanding laboratory procedures, showed a generally positive perception toward video-incorporated modules. A total of 77.8% of students either agreed or strongly agreed that the videos helped them understand the lab procedures more clearly. Similarly, 87% of students agreed that the videos improved their preparation before attending lab sessions, while 85.2% found that the video explanations aligned well with the experimental steps in the written manual. Moreover, 77.7% of respondents reported increased confidence in performing lab tests after watching the videos. These results indicate that the videos effectively enhanced students’ understanding, preparedness, and confidence in conducting laboratory work. Section B focused on accessibility and usability of the video modules. The results revealed that students generally found the videos easy to access and use. A majority of 85.2% reported no issues playing the videos on their devices, while another 85.2% agreed that the videos were easily accessible both inside and outside the classroom. These findings suggest that the video materials were user-friendly and supported flexible, independent learning beyond class time. Section C examined the perceived learning impact of the video-incorporated modules compared to traditional lab manuals. The results showed that 61.1% of students agreed or strongly agreed that they learned more effectively using the video-based modules than with regular lab books. Furthermore, 85.2% of respondents recommended that future lab manuals include demonstration videos to enhance learning. Overall, the findings across all three sections indicate a strongly positive response toward the integration of video recordings in teaching modules. Students reported improvements in clarity, understanding, preparation, confidence, and accessibility. These results demonstrate that video-incorporated modules are a valuable and effective instructional tool that significantly enhances student learning performance and engagement in laboratory-based courses compared to traditional lab manuals.
