Impact of Online Teaching on Practical Skills Development in Broadcasting and Hosting Courses in Shandong Youth University of Political Science
Abstract
At Shandong Youth University of Political Science, students take broadcasting and hosting classes online; this research looks at how those classes affect their practical skill development. This quantitative study used a random selection of 375 students from the table of Krejcie and Morgan (1970) to conduct the survey. With modest satisfaction for instructional materials and instructor interactions, the data suggest a mixed reception of online learning. On the other hand, there is a major lack of practical training resources, which are necessary for developing the skills needed for broadcasting. There was a little improvement in performance among students who had taken classes online before, suggesting that practice makes perfect when it comes to virtual classrooms. The research highlights the importance of using cutting-edge pedagogical approaches to improve online practical skills training, such as using augmented reality technologies and virtual simulations. These findings emphasize the need for schools to change and put money into methods and technology that give immersive and practical experiences, so that online courses can satisfy the needs of niche industries like hosting and broadcasting. The findings have far-reaching consequences for the improvement of online practical skills education and the subsequent betterment of student preparation for careers in professional broadcasting.
