Understanding Vocational Students’ Perception of Video Animation “Physical Activity and Dietary Behavior”

Technological advances in education have enhanced students' ability to understand knowledge about physical activity, especially in vocational education. Technology serves as an effective medium to deliver educational content, with animated videos emerging as a powerful tool for educating students on physical activity and sedentary behavior. This study explored students' perceptions of animated video-based teaching materials using a quantitative approach and an online questionnaire. The findings showed that students' perceptions aligned with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), with most agreeing on the effectiveness of animated videos for learning purposes. Data analysis confirmed positive agreement across TAM’s four key components, indicating a high acceptance level. Animated videos were found to effectively convey educational messages, deepen students' understanding, and promote behavioral changes toward healthier lifestyles. Thus, animated videos represent a valuable innovation for enhancing physical activity awareness in vocational education settings, supporting both knowledge dissemination and positive behavior transformation.
