The Development of Challenge-Based Learning with Social Media Model to Promote Technology Literacy Skills for Learners

Abstract

The challenge-based learning with social media model, or CBLS model, to promote technology literacy skills for learners is based on the concepts of challenge-based learning process integrated with the ideas to use social media as a tool for the management of learning activities. The objectives of this research are (1) to synthesize the CBLS model to promote technology literacy skills for learners, (2) to design the CBLS model to promote technology literacy skills for learners, and (3) to study the results of the design of the CBLS model to promote technology literacy skills for learners. The participants in this research are seven experts from different institutions in higher education, including the four males and three females, all of whom are experts in educational technology, which are specialized in design instruction system. These participants were all given confidentiality and anonymity. The results of this research show that (1) the overall suitability of the design of the CBLS model is at the high level (mean = 4.49, SD = 0.32), and (2) the suitability of the elements of the CBLS model is at the highest level (mean = 4.93, SD = 0.19).
