Abstract
Limited research has been conducted on the use of video podcasts in middle school environments (grades 6 to 8), particularly with at-risk students. This study investigated the use of worked-example video podcasts in mathematics classrooms with at-risk students 11 to 13 years old. Thirty-six pupils individually viewed video podcasts designed to teach basic mathematics concepts. Students were positive about the quality of worked-example video podcasts and appreciated the step-by-step, easy-to-follow explanations, diagrams, and being able to control the pace of learning. Learning performance increased significantly after using worked-example video podcasts.
