The effectiveness of task-based video assisted discussion platform (Flip) on secondary school students' English speaking anxiety and self-regulation for learning of the lesson

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of task-based video-supported discussion platform (Flip) on secondary school students' English speaking anxiety and self-regulation skills for the course. An explanatory sequential design, one of the mixed research designs, was used in the research. The quantitative aspect of the research was conducted as a quasi-experimental design with pre-test post-test control group and the qualitative aspect was conducted as a case study. The study was conducted with 54 seventh-grade secondary school students studying in a secondary school in the Western Black Sea Region in the 2023-2024 academic year, on voluntary basis. Two groups have been determined randomly as an experimental and a control group. Volunteer principle was taken into account. In the experimental group, lessons were conducted using the Flip application as a learning environment where students designed and shared their own videos in line with certain tasks and gave feedback to each other. No experimental application or intervention was made to control group. The implementation period of the research lasted eight weeks. For quantitative aspect, "English Speaking Anxiety Scale", "Motivational Strategies for Learning Scale (MSLQ)" and for qualitative aspect "Semi-Structured Interview Form" were used as data collection tools in the research. SPSS 27.0 packet program was used to analyze the quantitative data obtained during the experimental process, and the qualitative data obtained from the interview form was analyzed using content analysis and descriptive analysis. In line with the results of the study, it was revealed that the speaking anxiety of students who were applied Flip application decreased at a significant level. On the other hand, when pre-test results in relation with self-regulation were checked significant variation on behalf of the experiment group was found. In accordance with the data obtained through semi-structured interview, it was determined that the majority of students had positive opinions about Flip. Based on the findings of the research, video-based applications were mentioned and suggestions were made for their use in the field of education.
