Abstract
This study explored the effectiveness of using the Khan academy video podcast as a supplemental tool in the chemistry class of Engineering programs. This study utilized a quasi-experimental equivalent design with a post-test only. Thirty 1st year non-STEM students, equally distributed to control and experimental groups, were selected using a matched paired sampling method to participate in a two-week-long intervention. As results revealed, its utilization as a supplemental tool had a viable impact on the students performance in chemistry. Its utilization significantly increased their test scores as compared to the students who did not use it. Likewise, a post-exposure self-report survey was administered to shed light on the learning experience of using the supplemental tool. They indicated the cognitive advantage and personalized experience of using the Khan Academy. This study can contribute to the literature of Khan Academy in the chemistry field. Nonetheless, several limitations need to be addressed to augment future research. Considering the inclusion of more topics, longer time of experimentation, size of the sample, and explicit study of their behavior, for instance, can help establish the veracity of the future results.
