Online Program to Empower Teacher Learning to Develop Students' Digital Literacy Skills

Abstract

This study aims to employ Research and Development (R&D) Methodology to create an "Online Program to Empower Teacher Learning to Develop Students' Digital Literacy Skills" based on the notions of "Knowledge and Action is Power" and "Students are the Ultimate Goal of Any Educational Management." It consists of teacher learning development projects and a project where teachers use learning outcomes to help students progress. Six sets of teacher learning manuals and one workshop manual for instructors to apply learning outcomes to student development were created as a result of the R1&D1 to R4&D4 stages. According to the results of experimenting with manuals in the R5&D5 stage with 10 teachers and 60 students using one group pretest-posttest design experimental research in a school that is representative of educational opportunity expansion schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission, it was found that the developed manuals were effective according to the research hypothesis: 1) teachers had test results of learning outcomes that met standard criteria 90/90, 2) the teachers' post-test results were significantly higher than the pre-test-results, and 3) the students' post-test results were significantly higher than the pre-test results. It demonstrates that the manuals for learning and implementation for teachers in the developed online program are effective and can be disseminated for the benefit of the population of educational opportunity expansion schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission across the country.

A project-based learning model in interpreting course

“…This approach is in line with (Evans & Beteille, 2019) who declared that successful teachers, successful students. Besides, research that has been designed to focus on any activity of teacher professional development must acknowledge the benefit of students as the ultimate goal should be encouraged, supported, and disseminated (Promrub & Sanrattana, 2022).…”

An Online Program to Develop Teachers to Enhance the Innovation Skills of Students

“…(Mizell, 2010). This concept and benefits as Promrub and Sanrattana (2022) commented in the research on "Online Program to Empower Teacher Learning to Develop Students' Digital Literacy Skills" that "research that has been designed to focus on any activity of teacher professional development must acknowledge the benefit of students as the ultimate goal should be encouraged, supported, and disseminated". The fourth concept is based on the idea that knowledge and action are power which means transmitting the idea that having and sharing knowledge is the cornerstone of reputation and influence, and is, therefore, power (Azamfirei, 2016).…”

An Online Program to Empower Teachers' Learning to Develop Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…Its definitions are as wide or as small as the ones for the word "knowledge-based society," which is mentioned frequently. In this research as well as those of Arnandho and Sutheejariyawattana (2022), Chobjai and Sanrattana (2022), Dhanapañño and Sutheejariyawattana (2022), Namjaidee and Dhammapissamai (2022), Niruttimatee andPromrub and the researchers applied the idea to the development of the educational innovation in an e-book form to serve as a way of learning, as a guideline for the teachers' practice, and as an online program, which can be disseminated to benefit the target population by publishing their research conveniently, quickly, and efficiently. Furthermore, the researchers have realized the following benefits of online learning: 1) added flexibility and self-paced learning; 2) better time management; 3) the demonstration of self-motivation; 4) improved virtual communication and collaboration; 5) a broader, more global perspective; 6) more refined critical-thinking skills; and 7) new technical skills (Miller, 2019).…”
