VIDEO ABSTRACTS FOR SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION

摘要

Initiatives to use videos for educational purposes have become increasingly popular in the current decade. Learners in both formal and informal contexts are part of a visual culture, which transforms videos into an appropriate tool for science communication and interpretation. In fact, a large number of YouTube users visit the platform to gather information about science and technology. As Young (2008) pointed out, that scholars need to participate in this increasingly visual culture and take advantage of the potential of videos for knowledge dissemination and transfer. On the other hand, educators and learners profit from the visualization of complex scientific experiments.
