DEVELOPMENT OF A BLENDED LEARNING MODEL USING COGNITIVE TOOLS AND INFOGRAPHIC DESIGN PROCESS TO ENHANCE VISUAL LITERACY AND CREATIVITY FOR ART EDUCATION STUDENTS
Abstract:
This research was a research and development design aiming to develop the learning model, implement, and propose a learning model of blended Learning using cognitive tools and infographic design process to enhance visual literacy and creativity for Art Education students. The sample was 30 Art Education students in the second semester, acedemic year 2016. The research instruments were a questionaire, semi-structured interview form, lesson plans based on the learning model, visual literacy test, visual literacy rubric, infographic rubric, and learning media. Quantitative data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test for dependent samples, and development score; qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis method. The results were as follows: 1. The blended learning model using cognitive tools and infographic design process to enhance visual literacy and creativity for Art Education students consisted of 5 elements:1) Blennded Learning Activities, 2) Cognitive Tools, 3) Infographic Design Process, 4) Supported Materials, and 5) Evaluation. There are 3 teaching and learning steps in this learning model:1) Infographic Preparation and Inspiration, 2) Design and Creation of Infographics, and 3) Publish the Infographics. 2. The results of the implementation were as follows: 1) Visual literacy posttest scores of the Art Education students who studied with the blended learning model using cognitive tools and infographic design process to enhance visual literacy and creativity were significantly higher than the pretest scores at the .05 level, 2) Infographic scores of the Art Education students were pass at very good level. 3. The validation result by experts indicated the developed model was a high appropriate level to be used.
