Abstract

This study sought to ascertain the effect of integrating YouTube in teaching and learning of computer programming course on students’ achievement and interest. The study adopted pre-test, posttest quasi experimental design while the area of the study is Enugu State, Nigeria. From a population of 1,600 undergraduate students offering Computer Education course in seven Colleges of Education. 180 first-year students were drawn from two governmentowned institutions which were purposively sampled. Two instruments known as Computer Programming Achievement Test (CPAT) and Computer Programming Interest Inventory (CPII) were developed by the researcher and validated by two Computer Educationists from Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) and one Measurement and Evaluation expert from the same institution. Reliability coefficients of 0.82 and 0.78 were determined for CPAT and CII using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Cronbach Alpha respectively. Mean and standard deviation were used for answering the research questions while Analysis of Covariance was used to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that the students who were taught computer programming by integrating YouTube in the teaching process recorded increased achievement and interest than their counterparts who were taught with the conventional teaching approach. The test of hypotheses also showed that the mean differences in achievement and interest were significant, in favor of the students in the experimental group. Recommendations were presented
