The Effects of Testing and Feedback on Segmentation Principle in Video Learning

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.01.008

Abstract

Abstract: The segmentation principle is an important principle to promote learning in multimedia and video learning. This study explored the effects of testing and feedback on segmentation. Experiment 1 compared two conditions of watching segmented video and testing during segmented pauses. Results showed that testing during pauses improved learning performance. Experiment 2 compared three conditions of watching segmented video, testing during pauses, and testing and receiving feedback during pauses. Results showed that there was no difference between testing group and video group; and learners who received feedback performed best on tests. The results indicate that testing and feedback in segmented videos have positive effects and potential significance for multimedia and online learning.

Key words: segmentation, feedback, testing, video learning, multimedia learning

摘要： 分段原则是多媒体和视频学习中通过分段促进学习的重要原则。本研究探讨了测验和反馈对分段的影响。实验1对比了观看分段视频和在分段中进行测验两种情境，结果表明分段中测验会提高学习表现。实验2对比了分段视频、分段中测验和分段中测验并提供反馈三种情境。结果发现分段组与分段测验组之间没有差异，接受反馈的学习者学习表现最好。结果表明在分段视频中测验和反馈具有积极效应，对多媒体和线上学习具有潜在的意义。
