COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF VIDEO-BASED AND TEXTBASED MOBILE LEARNING APPROACHES ON THE PEFORMANCE OF UNDERGRADUATES IN ADEYEMI FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, ONDO, NIGERIA

Abstract

This paper compares the effectiveness of video-based and text-based mobile learning among undergraduates. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. The sample consisted of 500 undergraduate students of Adeyemi Federal University of Education, Ondo, Nigeria, who are in 200 level, drawn across the five Schools in the University through random sampling. The study employed Undergraduate Performance Test (UPT) as research instrument. Three hypotheses were generated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data collected were analyzed using t-test statistical analysis. The study revealed that undergraduates taught using video-based mobile learning approach performed significantly better (t = 43.94; p<0.05) in comparison with text-based mobile learning approach. Also, there was no significant difference between the performance of female and male undergraduates taught using video-based mobile learning and text-based mobile learning approaches with (t=.124; p>0.05), (t=1.560; p>0.05) respectively. In view of these findings, it was recommended, among others, that learning in the mobile age be improved among undergraduates by providing teachers with necessary training and resources.
