This study investigated the effects of using instructional videos on students’ academic performance and retention in quadratic equations among senior secondary school students in Daura Zonal Education Quality Assurance, Katsina State, Nigeria. The study was guided by four objectives, from which four research hypotheses were formulated and tested. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, and post post-test quasi experimental and control group design. Two sets of students namely, Experimental group (EG) and Control group (CG) were used for the study. The population of this study comprised the entire public senior secondary schools in Daura zone. There were 22 senior secondary schools in Daura zone with a total of 4,175 SS II students out of which 2,190 were males and 1,985 were females. The sample of this study comprised a total of 135 students of which 75 were males and 60 were females. A validated instrument with reliability coefficient of 0.87 namely Quadratic Equation Performance Test (QEPT) was used for data collection. Independent Samples t-test statistic was used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study show that students from experimental group performed and retained better than those in the control group. The study concluded that the use of instructional videos significantly improve academic performance of senior secondary school students in quadratic equations better than lecture method and is gender friendly. The researchers recommend the use of instructional videos in teaching students in our schools.
