Development of a virtual field trip model based on context based learning approach and storytelling technique to enhance creative thinking and awareness raising of art and cultural values of secondary students
Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to 1) develop a virtual field trip model based on context-based learning approach and storytelling technique to enhance creative thinking and raise awareness of the art and cultural values among secondary students. 2) study the effects of using the virtual field trip learning model combined with a context-based approach and storytelling technique to enhance creativity and cultural awareness among secondary. students 3) present and validate the developed model. The study involved 94 secondary students during the second semester of the 2023 academic year. Research instruments comprised a model evaluation and certification form, a lesson plan, a website according to the learning model, a creative thinking test, and a questionnaire measuring awareness of artistic and cultural values. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and post hoc tests. The research found that: The virtual field trip model based on context-based learning approach and storytelling technique to enhance creative thinking and raise awareness of the art and cultural values comprised three components: 1) technological media and activities, 2) teaching and learning process, and 3) evaluation, and four stages: 1) entering the lesson through context, 2) enhancing experience, 3) learning key concepts, 4) applying knowledge. Implementation of the model indicated the following results: 1) Students showed statistically significant improvements in creativity and awareness of artistic and cultural values after using the model (p < .05). 2) Students with different initial creativity levels exhibited statistically significant differences in creativity gains (p < .05), but no significant differences in awareness of artistic and cultural values. Experts evaluated the model and found its validity to be at a very good level.
