LEVERAGING THE POTENTIAL OF VIDEO-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL PACKAGES ON PUPILS' ACHIEVEMENT AND RETENTION IN ARITHMETIC IN ONDO METROPOLIS

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.
