Model Component Analysis of Online Storytelling Media via Gamification to Enhance the Digital Literacy Skills of Students in Computer Education Thailand

Abstract

At present, digital literacy skills (DLS) are essential for student teachers for developing the ability to use creative IT which is useful for effective work implementation. However, student teachers do not really possess DLS and are unable to apply them to their teaching methods, so the digital storytelling media via gamification to enhance DLS: DSML(Digital story model learning) is needed as an instrument to support them in acquiring digital literacy. The objectives of this research were to analyze the factors of the DSML and to assess the model appropriateness. The study was implemented through 42 papers of relevant articles and research from specific primary and secondary sources. The research instruments included lesson plans, the learning model, assessments of DLS, and assessments of workpieces. The findings of the study show that the factors of model consist of activities through DSML in 2 aspects with 10 factors and 29 variables. The test was validated by experts for the appropriateness of the learning through DSML. Overall, the DSML was found to have the highest appropriateness level (mean = 4.62, S.D. = 0.13) so it can be used in real learning and teaching situations and it is helpful for enhancing students’ DLS in the design and development of digital media. Based on the findings, the students could extend their learning scope with DLS in building digital media. These skills are necessary for Thai teachers in the future, and the model can be a prototype for doing classroom-based research or presenting research work at a national level.
