An Effort in Teaching Invertebrates and Training Digital Literacy to the Students

Abstract

Digital literacy is an ability to understand and use information in multiple formats and sources while presented through computers. The research purposes have analysed the influence of the electronic Invertebrate book on students' digital literacy and learning outcomes, as well as describe student responses upon learning process using electronic Invertebrate book. This research used mixed-method. The research samples selected using purposive sampling. Student's digital literacy and learning outcomes, in the form of pre-test and post-test, were analysed quantitively using normalised gain scores (g). The difference between pre-test and post-test in treatment or control class calculated using Wilcoxon test. Meanwhile, the post-test score and normalised gain score between treatment and control class calculated using Mann-Whitney test. The student's responses through the learning process were analysed descriptive-quantitatively using questionnaire. The result revealed that about 57% of students completed the digital literacy test and 100% of them enhanced in the category of medium to high on digital literacy skills.
