A comparative study on the use of information technologies in the development of students’ ability to comprehend what they listen to and watch

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a computer-aided method called ELVES and video-aided instruction on the development of young students’ ability to comprehend what they listen to and watch. Using the video-aided instructions and computer-aided ELVES method, it also analyses the likelihood of the video-aided instruction method being used with different techniques, and compares the instructional methods involved with levels of student success of three different experimental groups. An analysis of the students’ post-test results shows a considerable difference in favour of the computer-aided ELVES method for achieving the target behaviours.
