Teaching and Learning with Instructional Videos: Issues and Concerns for Educational Practice

The prominence of video-based learning in modern educational practice is constantly motivating teachers to incorporate instructional strategies such as images, sounds, and graphical representations into their teaching and learning process. Yet, many educators could still be affiliated with the conventional learning model where classroom instructions are delivered in a traditional mechanistic pedagogical technique with lessons delivered mostly through speech. To attain effective learning outcomes in terms of students' achievement and engagement in the learning process, educators must consistently interact with instructional strategies such as videos. The goal of this study was to discuss the application of instructional videos in teaching and learning and to identify and address some of the issues and concerns teachers and students may have relating to learning with videos. Some Issues and concerns relating to instructional video production and use were identified and discussed. While some recommendations were offered, including the need for teachers to introduce collaborative video production and pedagogical approaches that foster video-based learning in the classroom.
