# Assessment of educational technology in lactation physiology by health students

## TL;DR

This study evaluates a video clip as a teaching tool for lactation physiology among health students, finding it effective but noting barriers like the need for prior knowledge.

## Contribution

The study provides insights into using video clips as educational tools in lactation physiology teaching.

## Key findings

- The video clip was considered suitable and effective for teaching lactation physiology.
- Facilitators included attractiveness and ease of access, while barriers included music speed and prior knowledge requirements.
- The video clip achieved adequate scores in interactivity, purpose, relevance, and clarity.

## Abstract

to assess the suitability, facilitators, and barriers of using a video clip for teaching lactation physiology to health students.

a cross-sectional study was conducted with online data collection at a higher education institution, using the Assistive Technology Assessment Instrument and open-ended questions. The sample consisted of 88 students.

the video clip was deemed suitable in all attributes. Facilitators identified included attractiveness, musicality, and ease of access. Barriers noted were the music’s speed and the necessity for prior knowledge. The video clip achieved adequate scores for interactivity (1.71), purpose (1.77), relevance (1.64), and clarity (1.77). The overall average of the attributes was 1.72.

the video clip can serve as an effective learning strategy to enhance hybrid education, potentially contributing to the promotion and support of breastfeeding. However, some barriers underscore the importance of prior knowledge for a complete understanding of the content.
