Abstract

This study aimed to develop concept understanding in the students of 8th grade through the use of YouTube videos as a teaching method. The population of the study consisted of female students studying in grade eight from public sector schools of district Jhang. Two public sector girls’ elementary schools were randomly selected and their students of grade eight served as sample of the study. The researcher developed an achievement test from the textbook of grade eight General Science. The said test was used as a tool for data collection. The tool consisted of three major items and their sub-parts. After administering the pre-test the sample classes were randomly assigned to as the control group (22 students) and the experimental group (23 students). After the termination of the treatment, data was analyzed. The results showed that equal ability students of experimental group performed better after the treatment. To respond a question they used words and phrases beyond the textbook. It was observed that students love to watch videos, which not only helped them learn complex concepts but also helped them improve their listening and punctuation skills. It was also observed that students retain their attention in the classroom. Hence it was concluded that by using YouTube videos as teaching method, enhanced concept understanding of students of experimental group.
