Comparing educational and dissemination videos in a STEM YouTube channel: A six-year data analysis.

ABSTRACT: Didactic videos have proven to be particularly beneficial for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education challenges. This is due to their contribution to the reduction of the intrinsic cognitive load, as well as fostering connections among subjects to promote generative processing. This fact, together with the wide presence of STEM dissemination videos on YouTube, creates an opportunity both for teachers to focus on dissemination channels to acquire quality materials, and for content creators to develop specific videos aiming to serve as pedagogical aid. Aligned with such reasoning, this paper intends to evaluate the use and performance of a STEM YouTube channel that already publishes didactic videos categorized by intentionality into dissemination or educational.
