Creative History Learning Model Using Digital Storytelling through Cloud Learning to Enhance Analytical Thinking

Abstract

This research aims to develop a creative history learning model using digital storytelling through cloud learning to enhance analytical thinking. The research methodology is divided into 3 steps involving the use of digital storytelling through cloud learning to enhance analytical thinking. This involves 1) studying the creative history learning process, 2) developing the creative history learning model, 3) comparing the students’ analytical thinking scores before and after learning. The sample consisted of Mathayomsuksa 5 students of the Chonburi Sukkhabot School in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2019. The research instrument was an assessment of the students’ analytical thinking. Data were statistically analyzed with the use of mean and standard deviation measurements. The research findings were as follows 1) The creative history learning process using digital storytelling through cloud learning to enhance analytical thinking consisted of 4 steps: 1) The introductory stage included student orientation, specification of the learning objectives and historical topics; 2) The instruction stage included researching historical information, summarizing historical facts, creating digital storytelling media 3) The summary stage included presenting material by digital storytelling 4) Evaluation. The cloud learning resources used were Facebook Group, Google Drive, Google Form, and YouTube. The suitability evaluation score was at the highest level (x̅= 4.63, S.D. = 0.41) 2) The students who learned through the creative history learning model using digital storytelling through cloud learning had analytical thinking scores after learning (x̅ = 26.13, S.D. = 1.63) which were higher than scores before learning (x̅ = 10.70, S.D. = 2.58). The results were statistically significant at the .05 level.
