Keywords:
Aedes, Health Education, Interactive Multimedia Videos, Teaching AidAbstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of interactive multimedia videos in enhancing and sustaining primary students’ knowledge of Aedes mosquitoes and related diseases. Traditional textbook-based methods may not fully support deep learning, whereas multimedia offers a more engaging and student-centered approach. A total of 171 Standard Three students from two schools (control and intervention groups) participated. Using G*Power software, the sample size was determined, and a validated questionnaire was administered at three intervals. Data were analysed using a two-way mixed ANOVA. Findings showed that multimedia significantly improved comprehension and long-term retention, supporting its integration into primary health education curricula.
