Animated video in enhancing learning

Part 1

The process of developing a research topic begins with the identifications of the research questions that will help determine the research gap. Based on the problem, understanding the role played by animated videos in enhancing education, the best research topic will be; what role does video animated play in the motivation of learners with special needs education? A qualitative study seeks to understand a phenomenon or a research topic and adopts a survey research design to gain insight into a phenomenon through the collections of data.

The phenomena under study are the role played by animated video as a visual aid in the learning process of learners with special needs. There has been limited research ion the use of communications technology in the learning process. T hose that exist are directed towards regular learners. There is a need, therefore, to understand the role of video animated as a form of information communication technology .

Part 2

The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of special needs educators who implement alternative technology in the learning process for special needs learners . Emphasis has been placed on the role played by animated videos in enhancing the educations process for learners with special needs. This study can be justified by the need to increase the efficiency of the learning process among learners with special needs. Their disabilities make it harder for them to perform better in comparison to regular students. Technology has been effective in other aspects, including health, communications transport, and food production. Channeling technology in the learning process has been deemed necessary to aid special needs learners to increase their capability.

Participants will teachers who deal with special needs learners. Their insight into the topic has been deemed relevant hence the need to interview them in their natural settings, which are learning institutions.

This will also help eliminate bias in the research as thete4achers have the responsibility to answer the questions based on their own knowledge and skills. The topic is of interest to me as I have close relatives who have special needs, therefore understand the role of technology will also come in handy for them. The research data will be collected through interviews and questionnaires in school settings. The research questions for this research will be What are the experiences and perceptions of special needs educators who implement alternative technology in the learning process for special needs learners?

The research attempts to illustrate the role played by the animated video in enhancing the learning process for learning with special needs. Baglama, Yucesoy and Yikmis’s research was directed by the research question ” the role of video animated In enhancing learning for learners with special needs. The research method used was qualitative research that employed the use of survey research design to gather information. The data was collected through the use of interviews and questionnaires, which were both administered by the researchers. The article details the different scenarios and the effects the video animated had on the learning experiences of the leaners. The analytical approach was sued to breakdown the diverse elements in the research to ensure that the accuracy of the data is achieved. The results showed an improvement in the performance of the leaners in all the subjects that adopted video animated as a teaching aid .

The article will be very useful in the problem-solving sections of the research as it points out to the numerous aspects of video animated in the learning process. The research problem in this article is the need to understand the role of video animated in enhancing learning. Several scientists have researched the process, but there is still a research gap in understanding the roles played by video animated or special needs learners. The understanding of the role of technology in education has not been reiterated enough. This article discusses in depth the role played by video animated in enhancing the learning process for learners with special needs. This article will also be instrumental in the adoptions of the research methods used and their level of accuracy, which will then be used in the research. Think this article was well detailed and provided a comprehensive overview of the topic at hand. It was also positive as it detailed al the benefits of technology such as video animated in the learning process.

Khalidiyah’s article presents research on the use of animated videos to teach learners with special needs. The research on the article was directed by the two research questions “first, does animated video increase the students’ learning outcomes in reading skill? And second, what are the students’ responses to the use of animated video as the instructional media in reading skill? The purpose of this research was to ascertain the effects of using animated video in teaching students with special needs. This article relates to the research which will also be directed by the research questions “What role does video animated play in the motivation of learners with special needs education?” The problem in the cases is the assessment of the use of animated videos. Based on the research, this is a delicate field that has not been adequately explored by researchers.

This study adopted qualitative research methods with survey research design being the primary method. Data was collected through interviews which were done by the researcher. The questionnaires used contained 20 questions that were divided into four categories. It also drew research from other disciplines that are related to technology in education. Questionnaires were the primary form of data collection. The research result indicates that animated videos have been successful in the enhancement of learning experiences. Although other aspects of the research are still not understood, the research focused on the significance of pasts, most of which related to the research question.

Shabiralyani, Hasan,Hamad and Iqbal provided a detailed analysis of the effects of technology on the education of special needs learners. The purpose of this research was to ascertain the responses of the students in regards to the use of animated video in learning. The research was based on the gap in the field of technology on education. The problem in this study was the e of teaching aid and its implications to both teachers and the learners. The research questions used in this case was (what re the views of teachers ad learners towards the adoption of visual aid in the learning process?” The objectives of this study were diverse and included the comparisons of teachers view on the use of technology, such as visual aids in the learning process.

The data was collected through the use of interviews and questionnaire as this was qualitative research. The survey research design was also the method of choice by the researchers. The results of the study show that most of the teachers acknowledge the significance of technological visual aids in the learning process. The article is very significant for my research on the role of role does video animated play in the motivation of learners with special needs education. The articles are comprehensive and in-depth; hence will be useful or the research. I think this article has plenty of information that is necessary for my research. The authors have brought out the significant aspects of the topic while detailing all the research on the same. This makes this article rich in content that is necessary to define my research.
