The cognitive theory informed the study of multimedia Learning. The research used descriptive surveys and quasi-experimental designs. Questionnaires and researcher-made tests were used for data collection. The research instruments were validated, and the reliability coefficient was obtained using Cronbach’s Alpha formula for both instruments. The results revealed that there was no significant difference for both groups in the pre-test. However, in the post-test, results revealed a significant difference in the academic performance of students exposed to video and those taught using the lecture method. It was established that the use of video improves understanding, retention, class participation, class interaction, and attention and motivates learners. The study concluded that videos improved learners’ academic performance in Geography. It is, therefore, recommended that geography teachers should use videos in teaching and learning in order to improve learners’ academic performance.","PeriodicalId":127625,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Learning (JEL)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126292051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper may help highlight the need to include critical thinking and creativity in the curriculum, thus prompting the need for a curriculum review. In understanding the context of this discourse, the paper focused on two approaches: philosophical and psychological perspectives, emphasising moral philosophy for value-based education. This paper employed the collection of secondary data by using a desk research method of data collection. The data utilised two types of approaches: Internal and external desk research. The data was then subjected to content and discourse analyses to realise systematic and objective outcomes and interpretation as guided by the theoretical conceptualisation. The paper revealed that critical thinking involves inductive and deductive reasoning and problem-solving, nurturing creativity and innovativeness. Education aims at producing well-informed learners with skills and competencies that enable them to think analytically and critically, thereby applying what they have learned to enhance their own lives and sustainably contribute to society's development. This paper highlighted the need for instructors to provide explicit instructions to learners on how to transfer to new contexts and use cooperative and collaborative learning methods (constructivist approaches) that place students at the centre of the learning process.","PeriodicalId":127625,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Learning (JEL)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115358181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
