The Results of the Study of Basic Information and the Development of Teaching and Learning Models to Promote the Ability to Use Technology of High School Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study and analyze the basic information and the requirement about of teaching styles to promote the ability to use technology. The target group included 35 students and 8 teachers. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and content analysis. The results of the research when considering the first requirement of each aspect, it was found that the learner side was the need for knowledge in using technology media to solve problems creatively (M=3.63, SD=0.69). Student wanted teachers to give students time to practice their skills (M=3.82, SD=0.62). In terms of teaching materials need technology materials used in learning that are up-to-date and met the interests of students (M=3.78, SD = 0.55) and the evaluation aspect student expectation to have a method to measure and evaluate students' ability to use technology media accordingly (M=3.86, SD=0.65). Therefore, the teaching model to promote the ability to use technology of upper secondary school students uses the “ISKAR Model” which consists of 5 steps: 1) Introduction 2) Self-Activate Prior Knowledge 3) Knowledge Construction 4) Action, and 5) Reflection. The evaluation of model result was in the high level. (M=4.00, SD=0.57)
