Innovation In Learning Through Digital Literacy at Vocational School of Health

Abstract

This study aims to facilitate learning, therefore all existing technologies and educational technology products must be selected and built on the needs analysis of a particular learning environment. E-health learning media is an Androidbased Application. As we know that Android is one of the most widely used mobile platforms in the world with operating system based on open source. E-Health or Electronic Health is the use of information and communication technologies including electronics, telecommunications, computers and informatics to process various types of medical information, to perform clinical services (diagnosis or therapy), administration and education. As an education provider in the field of health, Vocational School of Health (SMK Kesehatan) feels obliged to participate in equipping their graduates with life skills in integrity, which combine generic and specific potency, to solve and overcome life problem. Life skills possessed by each graduate will include: Personal Knowledge, Rational Thinking Skills (Vocational Skills) and Vocational Skills. Implementation of digital literacy in SMK is expected to encourage students. One of the learning media that can be used through digital literacy is through the utilization of Androidbased applications. Results of Media Assessment of E-health application obtained average score 4.47 (Very Good).

The effect of digital literacy, self-awareness, and career planning on engineering and vocational teacher education students’ learning achievement

“…Gilster (1997) first proposed the term digital literacy as the ability to understand and use information from various digital sources. Digital literacy is the interests, attitudes, and skills of individuals who use digital technology and communication tools to access, manage, integrate, analyze and evaluate information, build new knowledge and create and communicate with others to participate effectively in the community (Djawad et al, 2018).…”

“…These three aspects are included in the curriculum of educational institutions, especially higher education. Student-teacher candidates are required to be creative and proactive in finding learning references relevant to these three aspects so that when they become teachers, they can become examples of literacy and become pioneers of lifelong learning (Djawad, Suhaeb & Jaya, 2018). Educators as agents of change need to rebuild a learning community that has self-awareness of the importance of continuing to learn so that knowledge increases (Serbes & Albay, 2017).…”

High Order Thinking Skills and Digital Literacy Skills Instrument Test

“…In addition to being developed based on the HOTS component, the items were also developed based on the four DLS components, namely operational skills, formal skills, information skills and strategic skills (Lordache, 2017). In addition to measuring students' HOTS and DLS, it is hoped that the instrument test results from this development can be a reference for researchers to increase research on the development of assessment instruments that encourage students' HOTS and DLS (Djawad, 2018).…”

The Integrated Augmented Reality and Google Scholar as the Test Instrument to Improve High Order Thinking Skills and Digital Literacy Skills

“…AR is a smartphone-based media that can display computer graphics to the real world. Thus, AR allows users to see the natural world and the virtual world simultaneously (Billinghurst, 2002) (Brookhart, 2010;Djawad, 2018).…”
