Early Childhood Degree Students as Digital Software Designers Based on 21st-Century Learning Skills

Abstract

This study is an early analysis of the ability of IPGKSM’s early childhood education PPISMP educator to become a multimedia courseware designer. The student’s ability was tested only through digital material production workshops over a limited period of time. Analysis of these findings is divided into three important stages; an early perspective of multimedia technology learning, basic technology learning (digital image manipulation), advanced multimedia technology learning (interactive interface design and visual programming). 6C Skills is a skill that is included in the skills needed in 21st-century learning skills. Two 6C skills tested in this study are creativity and critical thinking. The findings show that educators are capable of designing multimedia software if given space and opportunity.
