DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETENCY - BASED LEARNING BASED ON PROJECT - BASED LEARNING AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO ENHANCE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT OF HEALTH EDUCATION AND DIGITAL LITERACY OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

         Purposes: To compare mean scores of learning achievement and digital literacy after implementation between the experimental group and the control group. Methods: The subjects were 60 fifth grade students, divided equally into two groups: 30 of the experimental group was assigned to study under competency - based learning management based on the project - based learning and social media and 30 of the control group was assigned to study with the conventional teaching method. The research instruments were comprised of 8 health education lesson plans using competency - based learning management based on the project - based learning and social media with an IOC of 0.70 and the data collection instruments included learning achievements in the area of knowledge, attitude, practice and digital literacy with an IOC of 0.87, 0.95, 0.96 and 0.98, reliabilities of 0.89, 0.82, 0.89 and 0.85. The duration of the experiment was 8 weeks. Data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation and t - test (Paired - Sample t - test, Independent - Sample t - test). Results: The research finding was as follows: The mean scores of the learning achievement in the area of knowledge, attitude, practice and digital literacy of the experimental group students after learning were significantly higher than that before learning at .05 level, and the mean scores of the learning achievement and digital literacy of the experimental group students after learning were significantly higher than that of the control group students at .05 level. Conclusion: health education learning management using competency - based learning management based on project - based learning and social media of fifth grade students were higher than health education learning management with the conventional teaching method.
