Effects of Modality Principle in Tutorial Video Streaming

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Modality Principle in video streaming of ICDL course for trainee-teachers. Two modes of video streaming were used, namely video and narration (VN) mode, and video and text (VT) mode of ICDL course. The sample consisted of 202 trainee-teachers in the National Institute for Training (NIT) in Gaza. The results showed that the learners using the VN mode attained significant better achievement than the learners using the VT mode. The learners using the VN mode are learn better and more deeply than the VT mode. The presented information in both visual and auditory modes imposes lesser cognitive demands on learners’ without overloading working memory. Thus, more working memory capacity remains available for information processing and improve the learning outcomes.
