This teaching method refers to the delivery of information using various media, enriching the learning experience by combining visual and auditory elements. Numerous studies published from 2020 to 2024 have reported that multimedia teaching methods enhance learning efficiency and improve student engagement.

Key Findings

Meta-analysis results indicate that students with learning disabilities using multimedia teaching methods showed an average 20% higher learning outcomes compared to those utilizing traditional methods. According to the research, classes incorporating visual materials and video clips improved students' comprehension by over 30%. Moreover, classes utilizing interactive content were effective in increasing student focus.

Implications for Application in Korea

In the context of South Korean special education, it is necessary to actively incorporate these multimedia teaching methods. Especially in a situation where the number of students with learning disabilities is increasing, using visual and auditory materials can help students better understand and retain information.
