Among scholars there is empirical consensus that summaries in texts are proven effective for the recall of information. Yet, for instructional videos, summaries are a topic of research. Instructional videos could be helpful for the learning process, however students do not always engage in the targeted cognitive processing. Summaries in videos could assist the student to focus on the right information. The goal of this exploratory study is to investigate the effect of reviews (i.e. summaries) on engagement, self-efficacy, self-regulation and learning outcomes.

To do so, a mixed-method design was used where the data from the experiment is supplemented by data from the interviews. Results show that the engagement was high in both conditions. There was no significant effect found for self-efficacy or learning outcomes. In addition, no moderating effect of self-regulated learning on learning outcomes was found. However, this study has contributed to a new line of research about reviews in videos teaching declarative knowledge.
