Development of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Teaching Module Assisted by Wordwall for the Topic of Social Media and Digital Literacy for Seventh-Grade Students

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology necessitates innovative learning approaches that foster students' digital literacy through interactive and contextual learning experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) teaching module assisted by Wordwall media for the topic of social media and digital literacy for seventh-grade students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), limited to the Develop stage. Product validation was conducted by one subject matter expert and one media expert using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis (feasibility percentage) and qualitative analysis (validators' comments and suggestions). The validation results indicated a feasibility score of 76.67% from the subject matter expert (good category, with minor revisions) and 82.69% from the media expert (very good category). Based on these findings, the teaching module was considered feasible for use based on expert validation, encompassing aspects of content suitability, implementation of the PBL syntax, integration of digital literacy, language appropriateness, media presentation, ease of use, and interactivity. However, this study was limited to the expert validation stage and did not include field testing with students. Therefore, further research is recommended at the implementation stage to examine the practicality and effectiveness of the developed product.
