Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to : 1) assess the actual conditions, expected conditions, and needs assessment for media and information literacy among 446 student teachers ; 2) develop a model of motion graphics integrated with cooperative task-based learning to enhance media and information literacy of student teachers, based on interviews of five experts ; 3) evaluate the effects of the model among 58 student teachers ; and 4) validate the model by five experts. Results showed that: 1) Student teachers' actual media and information literacy was moderate, with the highest mean for I can search for information that precisely meets my objectives (M=3.31, SD=0.91). The expected state was at the highest level (M=4.98, SD=0.02), with the highest mean for I can design and create various types of media to present my knowledge and opinions in alignment with objectives (M=5.00, SD=0.01). The creativity aspect was identified as the top priority need (PNImodified =1.79). 2) The model of the motion graphics integrated with the cooperative tasks-based learning comprised five components: learning media, cooperative tasks, roles of instructors and learners, motion graphics, and assessment and evaluation ; and three stages: cooperative preparation, cooperative implementation, and post-cooperation. 3) Post-test mean scores of student teachers were significantly higher than pre-test mean scores (p < .05) after studying with the model. 4) Experts evaluated the model and found its validity to be at a good level.
