Effects of Multimedia Learning on Vocabulary Acquisition

Investigating the efficacy of multimedia learning on word acquisition, enhancing vocabulary instructions, and providing effective strategies for learners through cognitive theories. Research examines different input methods and learning strategies. Study involves participants assigned to text and picture, text, audio, and picture, and enhanced text, audio, and picture groups, with pre and post-tests conducted. Results show the enhanced group performing the best in meaning recognition and spelling tasks.

  2. Research Objectives • To investigate effects of multimedia learning on word acquisition. • Measure effectiveness of inputs; auditory input & enhanced text input. • Enhance quality of vocabulary instructions and ultimately, provide empirically proven as effective vocabulary strategy to learners.

  3. Frameworks: Multimedia Learning Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (Mayer 2003) • Mayer, Richard E. (1997, 2001) proposed and developed the cognitive theory of multimedia learning that consists of three important assumptions: 1)dual channels, 2)limited capacity and 3)active processing (Mayer, 2001). • Extension of two theories, dual-coding theory (Paivio:1981,2006) and Wittrock’s gererative theory oflearning (1974,1990).

  4. Multimedia Learning con’t First Assumption: Dual Channels Dual Code Theory: two channels to process information. 1)verbal representations: speech or writing, 2)non-verbal representations: images (Paivio 2001) Second Assumption: Limited Capacity

  5. Multimedia Learning con’t Third Assumption: Active Processing Generative Theory of Learning (Wittrock 1974, 1990) Four learning strategies • 1) recall, 2) integration, 3) organization, and 4) elaboration integration of new ideas with the learner's existing schemata, particularly by using four types of learning strategies. Mayer asserts • Three essential cognitive processes, 1)selecting relevant information from newly presented materials, 2)organizing the selected information into coherent mental representations, and 3)integrating organized information with prior knowledge (Mayer, 1997, 2001)

  6. Research Design • 52 participants from 1st semester of Beginning IA class. • Randomly assigned to three groups. 1)TP (Text&Picture)  Gr.1 2)TAP (Text, Audio, & Picture)  Gr. 2 3)eTAP(enhanced Text, Audio & Picture)  Gr. 3 • Pre-test & Posttest is given(meaning & spelling). • Background information sheet. • ANOVA & Post Hoc

  9. Research Hypothesis • The eTAP group will outperform the other groups in the meaning recognition test and the spelling production test. • The TAP group will outperform the TP group only in the meaning recognition test and the spelling production test. • Differences in score will be greater in the spelling production test. (Salem 2006)

  10. Data Analysis • Outliers were eliminated. (ex. Learning difficulties, proficiency level or etc…) • Out of 52 participants, 42 participants were selected. • ANOVA • Post Hoc Comparison Test: LSD & Tukey HSD

  11. Data Analysis - score rubrics Meaning recognition test: 1 pt. for each question: total 10 pts. Spelling production test: 1)Whole Word Scoring (WWS): 1 pt. is given out if the whole word is spelled accurately. (adopted from Barcroft, 2004) 2)CVS (Consonant & Vowel Scoring): 1pt. is given out for each accurately placed consonant & vowel.

  12. Result – meaning recognition • All scored perfect except 3 who scored 9 out of 10. • Even those who scored zero on the spelling production test scored all questions right. • Subjects took an extremely short time to complete the meaning recognition test.

  13. Result – spelling production WWS 10 pts. CVS 54 pts.

  14. Results • The TAP group (Gr. 2) outperformed the other two groups. • The eTAP group (Gr. 3) outperformed the TP group only. • There was a significant difference between the TAP group and the TP group(in WHS, not in CVS). • No significant difference was found between the TP group and the eTAP group.

  15. Results - WWS Post Hoc Comparison Test *. The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level. F (2, 27) = 3.79

  16. Results - CVS Post Hoc Comparison Test

  17. Results WHS CVS

  18. Conclusion • The TAPgroup outperformed the other two groups. •  1) Audio input facilitates vocabulary learning. • The eTAPgroup outperformed the TP group only.  Limited capacity (2nd assumption)  Needed more time to process all input. • TAP input was more effective in the spelling production test  Confirmation of Salem 2006.

  19. For Future Study • Increased sample size. • Long-term effect: Delayed posttest. • Effectiveness of writing as reading out loud.
