The Impact of the “Ms. Rachel” Educational Video on the Communication Skills Development of a Child: A Case Study
The Impact of the “MsCommunication Skills Development of a Child
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate and evaluate the influence of an educational video created by Ms. Rachel on a child's communication skill development. Previous literature has indicated a significant impact on language acquisition and communication skills as a result of using educational videos. The study emphasizes the incorporation of the cognitive load theory in the design of these videos to facilitate language learning and communication skill development. The research was conducted as a case study involving a 2-year-old toddler. Data collection began when the child was 1-year-old and involved video recordings and notes. The video episodes featured interactions between the child and the mother, who was one of the researchers, while utilizing the educational videos. The primary finding indicates that Ms. Rachel's educational videos, particularly the Song for Littles, have a positive effect on the child's communication skill development when assisted by the parent. The videos feature interactive content, focus on word and phrase pronunciation, and incorporate hand gestures and sign language, which are crucial for both verbal and non-verbal communication. Additionally, the researchers believe that the creation of the educational videos incorporated the theory of cognitive load as a learning tool for language acquisition.
