Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Knowledge Clips (Kcs) on students’ engagement at the Higher Secondary School level. This study was focused on investigating the effectiveness of KCs on students’ in-class engagement, including Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Engagement. Comparison of in-class engagement of control and experimental group, assessment of the difference in pre-test and post-test scores of the control group and comparison of engagement scores of the experimental group before and after an intervention was investigated in this study. A quasi-experimental research design by following a non-equivalent group pre-test post-test design was used. A mix-method approach was adopted for data collection. The sample includes 43 first-year Biology students from one college of Rawalpindi for each control and experimental group which were selected through a purposive and convenient sampling technique. Independent t-test, dependent t-test, and percentages were calculated for quantitative data analysis. Whereas, thematic analysis was done for qualitative data. The results of the study indicated the effectiveness of Knowledge-Clip on students’ in-class engagement including Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioral engagement in Biology course at the Higher Secondary School level. Moreover, it is recommended to utilize Knowledge Clips instead of third-party videos for engaging students within the class. Teachers may include thought-provoking questions, appealing colors, text, pictures, and animations within KCs for improving the in-class engagement of students. Trainings may be provided to teachers regarding creating KCs by using easy software’s like PowerPoint.

Description The blended learning approach involves both in-class and online interaction of students with the teacher. It aids them in solving their learning-related problems by asking questions within the class. Furthermore, the online phases of blended learning allow students to do independent learning. It not only compels students to get in touch with the learning materials but also helps them in solving their problems by constructing new knowledge. Videos are the most important component of the blended learning modules and teachers can use Knowledge Clips which is a 5-6 minutes’ short video clip as a concept delivery tool that not only saves in-class time for learning activities but also engage students and make them responsible for their learning.
