Abstract :
The main purpose of this study was to identify the effects of two major
components (ie, video and group discussion) of problem-based video
instruction (PBVI) on college students’ learning. To achieve this purpose, this
study examined whether or not PBVI can improve learner satisfaction,
comprehension and retention by comparing the results from three dependent
variables in PBVI with two other kinds of instruction: (1) problem-based text
instruction (PBTI) and (2) PBVI without group discussion.
According to the findings, there were significant differences in learner
satisfaction, comprehension, and delayed retention between PBVI and PBTI
groups, whereas there were no significant differences in learners’ satisfaction,
comprehension, and delayed retention between PBVI and PBVI without group
discussion. This study implies that PBVI in college courses have the potential
to enhance student satisfaction, comprehension and delayed retention
