Background of the Study
YouTube tutorials have revolutionized skill acquisition by offering accessible, step-by-step guidance on a wide range of subjects. In Ife Central, Osun State, students and professionals increasingly turn to YouTube as a supplementary educational resource to develop practical skills—from technical abilities to creative pursuits (Akin, 2023). The platform’s visual and interactive nature facilitates a deeper understanding of complex concepts, allowing learners to practice and master new skills at their own pace (Ogun, 2024). Despite its widespread popularity, concerns regarding the accuracy and quality of content persist, which may affect the learning outcomes of users (Ejiro, 2025). This study appraises the influence of YouTube tutorials on skill acquisition among learners in Ife Central. By analyzing viewer engagement, content quality, and learning outcomes, the research aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of digital video tutorials in skill development and propose measures to enhance their educational impact.
Statement of the Problem
Although YouTube tutorials offer a convenient means for acquiring new skills, their effectiveness in Ife Central is compromised by issues of content quality and credibility. Learners often encounter inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate information, which can hinder skill development and result in suboptimal learning outcomes (Ogunleye, 2023). The absence of standardized quality control raises concerns about the reliability of these tutorials. This study seeks to examine these issues and determine how the quality of YouTube content influences skill acquisition, thereby identifying strategies to improve digital learning experiences (Chisom, 2024).
