Since concepts and principles being studied Science and technology are said to be complex for students specially in the times of crisis, the interests of researcher were geared toward investigating the effectiveness of engaging and acquiring concepts being taught in the said learning area as supplemented by educational videos and use of social media platform to spark the interest of learners.
To find light, the researcher used the total enumeration of Grade 5 Set A ODL Learners at NAPICO Elementary School in Pasig City as respondents. Using the experimental descriptive research design, pretest and posttest were administered before and after the exposure to various educational YouTube videos and SciTok Experiments with topics aligned with the lessons in Science 5. One-shot-group testing was utilized and data that came from each student’s pretest and post-test scores were subjected to statistical treatment such as mean, standard deviation, and dependent T-Test to determine the differences in the mean scores.
Findings of study showed that the overall mean results for pretest and posttest for which were 3.20 and 8.00 having Fairly Satisfactory and Very Satisfactory verbal interpretation. As seen, the mean of posttest was greater compared to pretest, this implied that there was an increase in the engagement and acquisition of Science 5 concepts after the exposure to YouTube educational videos and SciTok Experiments. Further, the dependent t-test results revealed that the performance in the said learning area after exposure to YouTube educational videos and SciTok Experiments differ significantly since the p-value is less than 0.05. With such results, the null hypothesis is rejected with verbal interpretation of significant.
In conclusion, YouTube educational videos and SciTok Experiments help in improving the engagement and acquisition of concepts and scientific principles. However, continuous effort and emphasis on enhancing their motivation should be given to improve their scientific skills and explore more scientific experiments.
