Development of a Blended Training Model Combined with Workplace Vocational Training to Enhance Digital Technology Competencies for Students with Mobility Disabilities

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the components and develop a blended training model integrated with a workplace vocational training process to enhance digital technology competencies for students with mobility disabilities. The researcher employed the following methods Analysis of Basic Data for Model Development: The researcher analyzed fundamental policy data, theoretical concepts, and related research on teaching model development and knowledge creation theories. Experts were interviewed using a quality-assessed interview format. The results were qualitatively analyzed to establish a training model and manual. Development and Evaluation of the Training Model: A blended training model combined with workplace vocational training was developed to improve digital technology competencies. Tools used included learning management plans and competency assessment forms (covering knowledge and performance in the workplace). The developed model was evaluated by 7 experts. The results were statistically analyzed. Subsequently, the model was tested for effectiveness (E1/E2) with a small group of 15 students with mobility disabilities, using a criterion of 80/80.

The research findings were as follows: 1. Components of the training format that the researcher has developed. Consists of 1. Determination step Goal (Analysis) 2. Learning process design step (Design3.Step of creating the learning process (Development) 4. Learning step (Implement) 5. Evaluation step (Evaluation) 2. The research findings revealed that the expert evaluation of the model's quality and certification yielded values between 0.98 and 1. Details related to principles, objectives, teaching processes, and assessment methods were clarified. The effectiveness of the training model was found to be 87.2/92.6, validating the research hypothesis.
