English abstract

The paper attempts of identify the purposes and preferences for which YouTube videos are used by Indian undergraduate engineering and technology students. Results of the study showed that YouTube videos are used as supplementary source in support of learning, developing cultural understanding and obtaining behavioural benefits. The data sample consists of undergraduate engineering and technology students across the Indian subcontinent. Over 95.0 percent of the respondents were aware about role played by YouTube videos in their educational, cultural and moral life. 98.53 percent of respondents have ‘learnt to respect the good things in other cultures’. 57.25 percent male and 40.74 percent female respondents have better understood the cultural difference and appreciate them. This has helped ‘to identify good things in other cultures’ to 97.84 percent respondents. The study suggests that the use of YouTube needs to be oriented towards scholarly content to improve student engagement in the learning and enrich their knowledge.
