Here is what some students recently said when reflecting on using stop motion video as learning tasks. When asked what they enjoyed about it they said:
"I felt like it was a fun creative way that made me genuinely interested in the topic."
"The creativity and hands in learning rather then just listening and writing"
"I enjoyed learning about DNA and showing others what i see in my head"
"It was good to map out ourselves how protein synthesis occurs, it encouraged better understanding."
"The way this process ensured a correct understanding"
"Being able to do it in a group, which enabled me to understand the process better, as if I had any misconceptions they were able to correct me."
When asked Did it help you learn?, students said:
"Yes, as it helped me understand the process in more detail."
"Yes the protein synthesis process and when the different types of RNA are used." The task was on photosynthesis.
"Yes it helped me understand why the process functioned that way"
"I understood more about the transcription and translation."
