An Examination of Instructional High School Chemistry Videos on EBA Portal in terms of Nine Events of Instruction
Abstract
The
purpose of this study is to examine the instructional high school chemistry videos on EBA in line with Gagne’s nine events of
instruction. Content analysis was used to examine the chemistry videos on EBA
are appropriate in accordance with Gagne’s nine events of instruction. Content
analysis can be conducted in both quantitative and qualitative ways. Hence, a
quantitative media content analysis was adopted as a method of design
considering the aim of study. Four instructional designers, who are experts in
the field, evaluated the appropriateness of the instructional videos. Two
different equal groups were formed. Both of them independently evaluated the
qualities of the videos according to the phases of Gagne’s Nine Events of
Instruction. A scoring rubric was developed by the researchers in order to
evaluate the quality of each video on the basis of those phases. Each learning
phase in the instructional videos were checked and scored by the experts. Findings indicated that there was a certain need to
improve the quality of chemistry videos on EBA website. Consequently, the instructional
videos on EBA found not good enough to promote a positive attitude towards the chemistry
class, because some phases of the nine events of instruction are missing or needs
to be improved.
