(Table 1 below shows the descriptive statistics of the participants' pretest and posttest scores. The
pretest scores range from 4 to 20, while the posttest scores range from 11 to 29. It reveals that the
posttest mean score (x̄=20.85) is higher than the pretest mean score (x̄=13.46). It implies that the
students performed better in the posttest examination than in the pretest. The increment in mean score
from the pretest to the posttest reveals that the YouTube video playlist enhances the student's
academic performance in the examination, similar to the findings of Farhan (2019). The video materials
improve the learning experience, similar to the findings of Moghavvemi et al. (2018). Students have
control over their learning since the videos are available online anytime. Also, they can repeat watching,
post anywhere and leave communication with the teacher, similar to the findings of Ranga (2017).)

Posttest 11 29 20.85 3.22

(Figure 2 below reveals the benefits obtained by the students after watching the YouTube video playlist.
By watching the mathematics videos, students understood the mathematics concept quickly since the
videos were made by the teacher explaining the content lesson. Learning improvement happened after
watching the videos since the teacher explained the content well, similar to the finding of Muniyandy et
al. (2015). It makes the mathematics lesson clear since the students have control over the video, and
they can watch the video repeatedly at any time. Also, the students were capable of answering the
assigned activities and performance tasks. Hence, their interest in learning mathematics became high
since they were motivated to learn more by watching the video. They wanted to watch videos because
these would improve their academic performance (Bardakcı, 2019). Hence, they were interested in
watching the YouTube videos since they are related to their mathematics lessons, similar to the findings
of Zhou et al. (2020).)

(The findings above are supported by the words of the students below taken from the interview
transcript.)

(“Most of the time after the lesson, I barely remember what the teacher just tackled, that is why
YouTube video playlist helps me to remember and make it easy for me to understand the lesson more.”-
Participant 6

“When I watch my teacher’s video lessons, I will understand my lessons better. It will be easier to
answer my homework.” – Participant 12

“Watching YouTube videos boost my interest in learning the mathematics lessons more since I see my
teacher explaining the lesson content, giving examples and solutions to a mathematical problem.” –
Participant 18)
