Implementation of ICT literacy in STEAM project learning for measuring student’s interest and motivation

Abstract

Chemistry learning is currently still dominated by memorizing textual concepts so that there is a lack of students’ interest and motivation in learning chemistry. The implementation of ICT literacy in STEAM project based learning is one of the learning innovations involving all aspects needed by students in 21st century. This study aims to analysis the implementation of ICT literacy in STEAM project learning for measuring student's interest and motivation. The method used is descriptive quantitative, data collection on 79 students selected by purposive sampling. The research data was obtained through a questionnaire that containing 16 items. Based on result and discussion, students’ motivation got the highest percentage on 88.4% in very high category, then students’ interest got 84,3% in high category, and students’ responses to the implementation of ICT literacy got the percentage 83.0% in high category. The results of regression analysis show that there is a very significant correlation (strong and positive) between ICT literacy and student interest and motivation. The implementation of ICT Literacy also provides significant test results for each regression coefficient, namely Y = 0.310 - 0.576 Interest + 1.493 Motivation. This shows that the ICT Literacy variable has a significant effect on student motivation, while the interest has an insignificant effect. Thus, the implementation of ICT literacy in STEAM project based learning is good for increase students' interest, motivation, and ICT literacy. These results can be used as innovations in the science learning process.
