COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EFFECTIVENESS OF USING PRE-

RECORDED TEACHING CONTENT AND ONLINE LIVE LECTURES
AS MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION IN TEACHER EDUCATION
Mrs. Sonal Sandip Phanse*
Dr. Chetan Uttamrao Chavan**

Teacher and students shifted to new era of virtual education due to sudden blow of pandemic. Educational
institutions are struggling to find best mode of instruction to be follow dealing with online education. In this study
researcher employs comparative study on effectiveness of two forms of instruction i.e pre-recorded teaching content
and live online lecture for teaching content. Experimental study on Sample of 80 B.Ed. students was performed,
selection of 40 students in each group was done randomly.Achievement test based on content thoughtwas conducted
afterapplication of teaching method to see its effectiveness.On comparing Average score recorded from student’s
achievement test showthat student employed with pre recorded teaching scored little higher than online lecture
method.Analyzing further study shows mixed results, pre recorded teaching content was proved successful for
students who are academically good in studies.Study showed 40% student comes under excellent category in pre
recorded were as 20% of student following online lecture are excellent. Number of under achievers remain same
regardless of teaching content they follow. In fact, online lecture method proved successful to reduce number of low
achievers.This study showed that pre recorded teaching content is effective due to its flexibility, command over
content flow like stop, play, rewind etc. But it depends on student desire to learn as it is self-regulatory method of
learning. Student lack self-regulation get burdened with accumulated learning content resulting in low achievement.
Keywords: virtual education, prerecorded teaching, online lectures, teacher’s education.

INTRODUCTION
Spread of infectious dieses like covid 19 halt the
world and affected almost every aspect of living.
Education sector was affected most as face to face
teaching practice is more reluctant in Indian education
system. According to the researchers, (Rieley, 2020) it
is uncertain to get back to normal teaching for uncertain
period of time. As social distancing is preeminent at this
stage, this will have negative effects on learning
opportunities. Educational units are struggling to find
options to deal with this challenging situation. These
circumstances make us realize that scenario planning is
an urgent need for academic institutions. As per (Hodges
et al. 2020) Teaching staff of all backgrounds and ages

have had to prepare and deliver their classes from home,
with all the practical and technical challenges this
entails, and often without proper technical support.
Effective teaching method considering distance
education need research on urgent basis.
The introduction of new educational
technologies has felt like an urgent poke in the ribs to
many members of the academy. From clickers and in-
class polling to interactive videos and self-paced
instructional modules, the steady drumbeat of
“innovate” has thumped across the literature and into
our in-boxes (Bahnson & Olejnikova, n.d.2017). All
thanks to new educational technologies which equip us
to face this challenging situation. When we talk about
pre-recorded teaching content many researchers express
different opinion for example, according to
(Bahnson&Olejnikova, n.d.2017) Recorded instruction,
can be passive and isolating, but it can provide
flexibility in terms of timing and the opportunity to
repeatedly review presented material. availability of
recorded lectures provides flexibility for those students
who are juggling the competing demands of work,
studies, and other commitments. Students do utilize the
lecture recordings to review course content, revise class
notes, clarify complex concepts, and work at their own
pace (Danielson, Preast, Bender, & Hassall, 2014). The
ability to pause or replay the recordings benefits
students especially those who do not speak English as
their primary or native language (Maynor,
Barrickman, Stamatakis, & Elliott, 2014, Ronchetti,
2010).
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY:
1. To find achievement level of student adopted
live online lecture as mode of instructions.
2. To find achievement level of student
adoptedpre recorded teaching content as mode
of instructions.
3. To compare average of scores recorded from
both the forms of instructions.
4. To find out effectiveness of both the method
on students’ performance.
METHODOLOGY
In this research investigator is making an
attempt to find out effectiveness of two different forms
of instruction in teaching. Here pre service teacher are

On Comparing Average scores recorded from
both the group showed little but significant difference
between two forms of instruction. Average score of
prerecorded teaching content appears to be14.3 which is

focused group. Comparison between pre-recorded
teaching content and online live lecture was done by
following comparative method of research.
In this research pre-recorded teaching content
refers to learning experience transmitted using online
content available on google, YouTube, educational
resources sites or these may recorded lectures by teacher
itself. This material must be available student at any
time anywhere, also student could have command over
its pace of flow of content like play, stop, rewind, replay
etc.
Online lecture refers to real time lecture
conducted by teacher live using digital platforms like
Google teams app, Zoom, duo etc. here student attend
live lecture by video conferencing.
Sample: Sample of 80 pre service teacher was selected
randomly. Sample was selected from three different
B.Ed. colleges located in Mumbai city. Sample was
divided evenly in two different group i.e 40 students in
group.
Tool: Achievement test was prepared by an investigator
itself based on content thought. Two different objective-
based test questionerswere set for two different method
of instruction. Student attempt 20 marks test using
online google form. Each question carries 1 point score
for each correct option. All questions were compulsory
to attempt.
Results: Score recorded from test was compared as per
norms for interpretation of level of achievement test
made by investigator itself.

 Analysing further study showed mixed
results.Though overall results showpre-recorded content
superior to online lecture but detail observations are
appeared to be different. Pre-recorded method proved
successful for students who are academically smart.
Study shows excellent category flourished with the
points of 40% in pre-recorded whereas it also produces
more under achievers almost 15 % altogether. In case of
online lecture excellent category faces big blow with
20% but has very low number of under achievers. Apart
from this number of Good and Average category
students are more in number employed with online
lectures compared to pre-recorded. This shows lecture
method are creating uniform results to majority of
students.
CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION
Resultsappeared from this study concluded
thatpre-recorded teaching content proved beneficial for
students who are academically motivated. As it requires
more self-regulation, planning and readiness to consume
learning experience. On other hand students lacking
self-regulation faced burden of accumulated content if
not learned regularly, this affects their performance in
academics. According to study conducted by (Brockfeld
et al.2020) video lectures for initial delivery of
information would be very effective, and these may be
given importance equal to that of face-to-face lectures.
t. As the results of study conducted by (Syynimaa, 2019)
clearly indicates, using pre-recorded lectures had a
small, but significant, effect on grades. Also, student
satisfaction was slightly higher. Benefits of videos
depends on types of videos (Williams et al., 2012); If
videos are complementary, they are valuable, if they are
used to substitute the lectures, they are not. The most
important benefit of pre-recorded video is that student
can learn teaching content at their own pace of learning.
Student have command over running video, they can use
options like stop, play, rewind and also can listen to it
repeatedly.
This study also shows that pre recorded method
was not proven to be beneficiary for low achievers.
Reasons behind it could be they are more comfortable in
face-to-face interaction though it is online form. Indian
context of education is more habitual to lecture mode of
instructions. It is difficult for student as well as teacher
to adopt new method of learning as it required more
discipline and self-motivation to learn. Some researcher
71
strongly believes that Live lectures will provide more
structured learning schedules and may help in better
management of students’ workload (Ranasinghe, L.;
Wright, L.2019). considering this we can say that online
live lectures can be more interactive and connected as
compare to pre recorded which is more isolated and
passive in nature. Facial expressions, eye contact and
live interaction of teacher keeps student engaged. Even
in this study results obtained from scores of live lectures
are more uniform. hence, we can see maximum students
comes under good and average category. It also
minimizes low achievers; this shows live lecture are
more beneficiary for low achievers.
LIMITATIONS AND IMPLICATION OF STUDY:
This study was conducted on the basis of only
post test design. Sample was selected randomly as per
convenience of researcher. Lack of equalisations of
sample might impact results of study. Some students are
actual smarter and disciplined, will perform well
regardless of mode of instructions received. Similarly,
with low achievers as well.Also, effectiveness of lecture
depends more on teachers presentation and style of
teaching, this also could affect performance of student
particularly. In case of online learning technical issues
like week network, accessibility of online content, low
equipped in gadgets can also create problems while
learning.
In spite of these limitation this study can suggest
some the implications, as per observations of (Bos et al.,
2016), recorded lectures have added value for learning
objectives that deal with developing a knowledge base,
but only if these recordings are used sparingly and with
restraint. For learning objectives that deal with higher
order thinking skills, recorded lectures seem to offer less
value, though neither do face-to-face lectures. From this
statement we can conclude that teacher must cater
individual difference quality among students and plan
according to needs of the students. Dependence on
single method of instruction is not a good idea for all the
students in fact, accurate blending of two or more
different mode of instruction keeping in mind student’s
requirement and capability to absorb information could
be more beneficial.
