Abstract

This study aims to determine the Effectiveness of interactive videos and videos produced by AI for developing scientific concepts and scientific curiosity of preparatory stage students. To achieve this, the researcher designed a scientific concept test and a scientific curiosity scale. Using a quantitative approach, the study involved three groups: Experimental Group 1 (taught with interactive videos, n=30), Experimental Group 2 (taught with AI-generated interactive videos, n=32), and Control Group (taught with traditional way, n=36). The results revealed significant improvements in scientific concepts for both experimental groups, with no statistically significant differences between them. However, both experimental groups outperformed the control group in developing scientific concepts, unlike scientific curiosity, the first experimental group (interactive videos) showed statistically significant advantages over the second experimental group (AI-generated videos), suggesting that traditional interactive videos are more effective in fostering scientific curiosity. Meanwhile, comparisons between the second experimental group and the control group indicated differences only in the dimension of scientific practices, favoring the control group. The remaining dimensions of scientific curiosity showed differences in favor of the second experimental group.
