Present era is Internet era. ICT (Information Communication and Technology) has 
become an integral part of all walks of life including Mathematics education. YouTube is an 
online video sharing service of Google. It is one the important tool of Web 2.0 technology. It can 
be integrated with classroom study materials for the larger benefits of the students. A study was 
carried out to investigate the effect of integrating YouTube contents with academic study 
materials of Mathematics on Academic Achievement of high school students. It was a quasi
experimental educational research, which was designed on the basis of Solomon Four Group. 
The total sample size was 44 high school students at Indore, in which 22 were in experimental 
group and 22 were in control group. Simple convenience random sampling technique was used 
to assign the four groups into experimental and control groups for the study. Researcher 
developed YouTube‘s video based study materials of Mathematics as per the syllabus of high 
schools. These study materials were used for treatment to the experimental groups. For 
collection of data on the academic achievement, Students‘ Achievement Test (SAT) was also 
developed by the researcher. Content and face validity was ensured with the help of experts. 
Reliability of the SAT was 0.89 using test-retest method.  Null hypothesis were formulated, which 
was tested on the basis of mean, standard deviation and t-test statistic calculated for the data 
collected on the basis of pre-test and post-test scores of the students in the SAT. It was found that 
experimental group had increased their achievement to a greater degree than the control group. 
Result of t-test concluded that difference between the academic achievements of experimental 
groups and control groups was significant at 0.05 level of significance and null hypothesis was 
rejected. The findings of the study demonstrated that YouTube based study materials is beneficial 
in improving academic scores in Mathematics of the students.
