Description:
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of using different types of multimedia presentations on both motivation and creative understanding of King Saud University students in KSA. The study has tried to test the following hypotheses:
1) There are significant differences in the means average between the experimental group and the control group in learning motivation scale due to the use of videos associated with hyper text only and the use of videos associated with hyper text and audio reading; 2) There are significant differences between the experimental groups and the control groups in creative understanding test due to the use of multimedia delivery modes. The researcher applied the quasi-experimental approach to verify the previously mentioned hypotheses. The study sample consisted of 79 of King Saud University female students. This sample was divided into three groups. The first group (23 students) represents the first experimental group, the second (23 students) represents the seconds experimental group and the third group (33 students) represents the control group.
In this study two instruments were applied to measure the dependent variables: 1) regarding to the creative understanding variable, a post test that have been created by the researcher. 2) Learning motivation variable, Keller pre-post survey was applied to measure students’ progress before and after applying the independent variable.
The study results indicated statistically significant differences in motivation between the experimental groups and the control group. These differences were, in all the aspects of motivation scale in favor of the students of the first and the second experimental groups. The study results also indicated the existence of statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the creative understanding test in mean score of second group students and that of the control group students in the aspects of flexibility and elaboration for the second experimental group students that studied by audio, video and hyper text , the results indicated the absence of statistically significant differences between the mean score of the first and the second experimental groups in creative understanding and motivation. Moreover, there were no differences between the students of both the first experimental group and the control group in creative understanding test.
