Students completed a pretest, watched an instructional video and then solved three posttasks of increasing complexity. A stepwise scoring rubric measured learning gains, and Latent Class Analysis (LCA) was used to identify learner subgroups. Wilcoxon signed-rank and nonparametric tests examined overall and subgroup differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results show statistically significant improvements across all posttasks (p &amp;lt; 0.001), including among students who reported frequent difficulties with Mathematics. Nevertheless, higher-complexity items continued to reveal persistent gaps in solving inequalities and applying set operations. Students highly valued the video\u2019s clarity, audiovisual quality and usefulness but consistently indicated that it cannot replace face-to-face instruction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results derive from one institution, one topic and a short-term intervention without delayed posttest; LCA indicators were self-reported.

This study adopts a fine-grained, microanalytic perspective by isolating the learning impact of a single, carefully designed instructional video on a specific mathematical topic (\u201cDomain of a Function\u201d). Methodologically, it combines a transparent stepwise scoring rubric with pre\/post assessment and LCA to capture learner heterogeneity beyond average performance effects. This allows identification of distinct learner profiles (\u201cCasual Learners\u201d and \u201cStruggling Video Users\u201d) and examination of how short-term procedural gains vary across profiles. By demonstrating that a single procedural video can generate statistically significant short-term learning gains across heterogeneous student profiles while simultaneously revealing persistent conceptual difficulties, this study contributes empirical evidence that refines current understandings of the instructional scope and pedagogical limits of microvideo use in Higher Education Mathematics. It further distills evidence-based design principles for integrating short instructional videos into blended and flipped learning environments.<\/jats:p>\n
