Student-created video: an active learning approach in online environments

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate student-created video as an active learning approach in an online environment to inform instructional practices of student-created video in STEM. Data analyzed in this study included pre-service teachers N = 107, 1-minute videos and pre- and post surveys. The findings of this qualitative study indicated that student-created video was an active learning activity that contributed to an increase in students’ perceived STEM content knowledge, improved perceptions of self-efficacy, and evidence of student engagement inclusive of behavioral, affective, and cognitive domains. Themes derived from the participants’ perceptions included: perceived self-efficacy, novelty or usefulness of creating short video, time to design and create video, and content and technical knowledge. Student-created video as an active approach to learning can be included in STEM education to increase STEM knowledge and foster integrative twenty-first Century skills. Practical implications for educators when designing student-created video assignments include (a) following a video development model; (b) providing extra time for content acquisition and revisions; and (c) incorporating peer evaluations.
