Integrating Instructional Video Drama to Enhance Islamic Studies Students’ Intrinsic Motivation: An Experimental Research

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of instructional video drama integration in teaching Islamic studies to enhance students’ intrinsic motivation. Random sampling technique was employed by the researcher to select 60 subjects of the study from School for Arabic studies, Kano. Similarly, the subjects were randomly designated into either control or experimental group. After the experiment, an adapted questionnaire measuring students’ intrinsic motivation was administered to both groups. To add more validity to quantitative data, three students were purposely selected from the experimental group and interviewed on the effect of the video on their intrinsic motivation. Independent sample t-test is a statistical tool used by the researcher to determine statistically significant difference of the mean score between the experimental and control group. Besides that, inductive analysis technique was employed to analyse qualitative data (interview). The result revealed the corroboration between the two data sets (survey and interview). Students in the experimental group reported higher intrinsic motivation than those in the control group. Thus, it could be concluded that the video has a significant effect on enchasing students’ intrinsic motivation while learning Islamic studies and this study serves as a bench mark for integrating instructional video drama in teaching Islamic studies in secondary schools.
