Thai Engineering Students’ Perceptions of Video Project Assignments

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of creating video projects as part of their grade assignment. Forty-two engineering students at a university in Thailand taking an English course participated in the study. They were required to use English expressions from the phrase bank in each of 15 units in their course book to create a story script to produce a video clip. Upon the completion of the video projects, the participants were asked to answer an online questionnaire. The responses were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed that the students had a high to very high level of perceived satisfaction towards producing video clips.  In addition, there is no significant relationship between their grades and their level of perceived value towards the video creation (P ≤.05). An instructional implication drawn from these findings is to include a video clip project as an assignment in an English course in future semesters.
