    (Colour online) A comparison of test performance and confidence of males and females (Study A). Arrows show changes from pre-video to post-video values. Both males and females significantly improved their test scores (paired t-tests, p < .001 for each). Average scores for males and females were not significantly different on either the pre-test or the post-test (two-sample t-tests, p > .8 for each), but males were significantly more confident in their answers both before (two-sample t-test, p = .0001) and after watching the videos (two-sample t-test, p = .004)

    (Colour online) Pre- and post-video test scores by age group (Study A). Values shown are means ± standard errors. All pre-test to post-test improvements were statistically significant (paired t-tests, p < .001 for each)

    Does “edutainment” such as content-rich music videos have any place in the rapidly changing landscape of science education? A new study indicates that students can indeed learn serious science content from such videos. The study, titled ‘Leveraging the power of music to improve science education’ and published by International Journal of Science Education, examined over 1,000 students in a 3-part experiment, comparing learners’ understanding and engagement in response to 24 musical and non-musical science videos.

    The central findings were that
