A Development of Appropriate Use of Technology Competency (ICA5) by Applying Phenomenon-Based Learning Along with Online Digital Citizenship Test of Mathayomsuksa 6 students at Anukoolnaree School Kalasin Province

Abstract

             The purposes of this classroom research were to 1) study the results of the development of a phenomenon-based learning instruction and 2) study the results of the development of appropriate use of technology competency (ICA5) by applying phenomenon-based learning instruction along with an online digital citizenship test of Mathayomsuksa 6 students at Anukoolnaree School. The target group was a class of 32 students in Mattayomsuksa 6 who were studying computing science in the first semester of the academic year 2022 at Anukoolnaree School. The research tools were 3 lesson plans for the computing science course of Mattayomsuksa

      6 in unit 3, digital citizenship, and a digital citizenship test (DCT). Statistics used in data analysis were Mean, percentage, and standard deviation.
                The results findings showed as follows: 1) The learning activities that applied a phenomenon-based learning instruction consisted of 4 learning steps; phenomenon exploring, questioning and researching, making an assumption, and learning reflection. These learning steps gave the students opportunities to explore learning questions from real-life events and find answers on their own while the teacher assisted the learning; and 2) the results of the study showed the development of appropriate use of ICT competency by applying phenomenon-based learning instruction in computing science course of Mattayomsuksa 6 at Anukoolnaree School found that the students had an average score of DCT at 102.47, which was higher than the international average. This result can be inferred that the students can initially use digital tools and materials safely and be responsible for using tools and online media. These skills are necessary to be a good digital citizen in the 21st century.
