Effect of Short Numeracy Videos on Students’ Performance

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using short numeracy videos in addition to the traditional use of flash card drills on students’ numeracy skills, particularly the operations on integers. Using the quasi-experimental design, two sections of tenth graders of Himamaylan National High School, S.Y. 2023-2024, were involved in the study. The enhanced Regional Unified Numeracy Test was used to determine their performances. Both groups received their designated strategies for four weeks: the control group focusing on flashcards only, and the experimental group receiving short numeracy videos in addition to the flashcards. Results showed that the control group significantly improved their performance, although they remained at the nearly proficient level. The experimental group significantly improve their performance also, transitioning from the nearly proficient to the proficient level. When post-test scores of the groups were compared, it was found that the group that were introduced to videos significantly performed better. As such, it is recommended to use short numeracy videos in addition to the traditional flashcards drill to significantly impact students’ numeracy skills.
