Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of interactive videos in developing educational robot programming skills among second-year middle school students in Makkah, as well as their attitudes towards it. The researcher used a quasi-experimental design, and the sample consisted of 48 students who were randomly selected and divided into two groups. The control group (24 students) was taught using the traditional teaching method, while the experimental group (24 students) was taught using interactive videos. The research tools consisted of an achievement test to measure the cognitive aspect of robot programming skills, an observation card to measure the performance aspect of robot programming skills, and a scale to measure attitudes towards interactive videos. The study identified a list of educational robot skills, and the results showed significant differences at a significance level of (0.05) between the mean scores of the control group and the experimental group in the applied dimension of the achievement test for the cognitive aspect, and for the observation card for the performance aspect of robot programming skills, which were attributed to the use of interactive videos in favor of the experimental group. The study also found positive attitudes among second-year middle school students towards the use of interactive videos, and recommended using interactive videos in developing performance aspects related to programming skills in digital skills courses, and conducting training courses for teachers on how to employ interactive videos in the educational process.
