Designing a Mobile Micro-learning Program Based on Interactive Video (Synchronous and Asynchronous) and its Effectiveness in Developing Achievement and Self-Directed Learning Skills Among the Faculty of Education Students

The current research aimed at designing a mobile interactive video-based microlearning program (synchronous and asynchronous) and investigating its effectiveness in developing achievement in the educational technology course (1) and developing self-directed learning skills among the faculty of education sophomores. This research employed the descriptive, developmental and experimental research designs to design and develop the mobile interactive video-based microlearning program (synchronous & asynchronous) and to investigate its effectiveness. The research data was collected through an achievement test in the educational technology course and a scale of self-directed learning skills. The research instruments were applied to a sample of (168) male and female sophomores in the faculty of education, Damanhour University. Results were analyzed using parametric statistics, since One-way ANOVA was used to test the significance of the differences between the mean scores of the three research groups. Tukey test was used to determine the significance of the differences between these mean scores. The results of the research showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the three groups in the academic achievement in the educational technology course (1) in favor of the first experimental group that used the mobile interactive video-based microlearning program (synchronous). The results also indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the three groups on the scale of self-directed learning skills in favor of the second experimental group that used the mobile interactive video-based microlearning program (asynchronous).
