The impact of using online videos in teaching mathematics to five-year bilingual students

The present study aims to determine whether watching online videos has a statistically significant effect on the mathematical understanding of shapes and numbers of bilingual five-year-old children who were taught in kindergarten. Therefore, this study used a quantitative method and there were 37 participants in both control and experimental groups. The experimental group watched selected YouTube videos focusing on numbers and shapes, while the control group followed their usual routines. The treatment of the experimental group consisted of three instructional sessions per week, spanning a period of six weeks. The students had been asked to answer verbal questions in individual sessions before and after treatment and was recorded as their pretest and posttest. The findings indicate that the treatment, exposure to educational videos, leads to a significant improvement in the mathematical understanding of shapes and numbers among learners. The analysis using ANCOVA and independent sample t-test reveals that the experimental group demonstrates a higher level of achievement compared to the control group.
