Abstract

This study explores the potential of video-based instructional packages on pupils’ achievement and retention in arithmetic in the Ondo metropolis. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. Two primary schools were randomly selected to participate in the study, and one primary school was purposively selected for the experimental group and the other was selected for the control group within the private schools in Ondo metropolis. A total sample of ninety-eight (98) primary II pupils from two private primary schools made up the study's population. Data were collected through the Arithmetic Achievement Test (AAT) and Video-Based Instructional Package (VBIP) developed by the researchers. The data were analysed using ANCOVA. The finding indicated no significant difference in pre-test scores between the two groups, confirming their equivalence at baseline. However, post-test scores revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of the video-based instructional packages. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that primary school teachers should adopt a video-based instructional package as a pupil-driven instructional approach that gives pupils the ability to store, retain, and recall the learning experiences and improve academic achievement in primary schools.
