Abstract

Instructors in higher education are under pressure to provide their students with more effective and efficient learning environments and educational
experiences. Instructional systems and educational technology have been receiving great attention from educators in order to enhance students’ learning.
Educational technologies such as multimedia presentations are becoming commonplace. The aim of the research reported in this article was to establish
which multimedia combinations are best for the teaching and learning of Social Sciences content. A quasi-experimental research design was used
to establish how exposure to different multimedia combinations on digital videodisc may affect the achievement of pre-service teachers. The results of the
study indicate that when using various multimedia combinations, the unique nature of Social Sciences can be addressed effectively.
