As tablet integration in education becomes increasingly prevalent in Djiboutian classroom settings, understanding their effectiveness is crucial. This study examined the impact of tablet-based video materials on the phonics skills of second-grade students at Ali-Sabieh 1 elementary school in Djibouti. Using a quasi-experimental design, 38 students were divided into experimental and control groups. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to evaluate pupils’ phonics skills before and after the experiment. Independent samples t-test results indicated no significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups. These findings suggest that while digital learning videos can support phonics skills development, their impact may not be significantly greater than traditional learning methods. This study contributes to the limited research on educational technology in Djibouti and provides insight for future implementations of digital tools in literacy education.
