Abstract

Online learning videos have been described as effective in workplace learning and education. Educators and students use public video-sharing sites like YouTube to teach and learn work practices, new job roles, and skills. There is a need, however, to develop more knowledge about how such instructional videos support learning. This study investigates students’ uses of and perceptions towards YouTube in high schools in North Sumatera, Indonesia. The study was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The sample included participants chosen through lottery sampling from seven classes, which totaled up to 52 participants of class II (class XI) of State High Schools. Two research questions were answered, and data was analyzed through percentages, frequency counts, and cross-tabulations. This research has shown that most students use YouTube to learn, improve the learning process, and get closer to learning lesson content based on teaching English vocabulary.
