Abstract:

This study examined the effectiveness of instructional and demonstrational videos in teaching skill-based sports, specifically basketball and volleyball, in Physical Education (PE) 104. The aim was to evaluate their impact in terms of cognitive load, student engagement, and active learning, while also identifying factors that contribute to effective video-based instruction. A descriptive research design was employed, with data gathered from 50 randomly selected PE students at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation. A validated questionnaire-test scale was used to measure students’ perceptions of the videos and their influence on learning outcomes. Findings revealed that the videos effectively reduced unnecessary cognitive load, enhanced student engagement, and supported active learning. Students reported that video lessons allowed self-paced study, improved their confidence in performing skills, and provided a clearer understanding of sports rules and techniques compared to text-based materials. The study concludes that instructional and demonstrational videos are valuable pedagogical tools in the “new normal” of PE instruction. It is recommended that videos be designed to minimize distractions, kept short and modular, embedded with active learning strategies, and paired with feedback mechanisms to further improve student performance. This highlights their potential as sustainable strategies in blended and online education.
