The influence of interactive videos to promote learner agency: A case study.
Abstract
The use of interactive videos in education has gained relevance due to their ability to enhance comprehension, content retention, and foster learner agency. This study examines the influence of interactive videos on students' motivation and engagement. The research, conducted at the Faculty of Education of the Complutense University of Madrid with 63 undergraduate students, is a case study employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods within a descriptive and exploratory methodology based on observations, validation or corroboration questions, and structured questionnaires.
The results show that interactive videos promote student participation and engagement. Interactivity and the possibility to controlling the learning pace are the most positively valued features, these factors directly related to student motivation, stand out among the most valued features. It was also observed that some students perceive these resources as more effective for consolidating previously studied content than for introducing new concepts. Finally, the vdieos specifically designed for the course received higher ratings as compared to external resources.
