A Proposed Framework for Innovation in Gifted Education Research in Light of 21st-century skills: A Foresight Study Using Delphi Method

This study aimed to propose a framework for innovation in gifted education research studies in the light of 21st-century skills. To examine the current innovation in gifted research, a preliminary opinion poll was administered to a sample of 358 participants representing various segments of the society, using an electronic questionnaire. The results indicated that 27% believed that research in the gifted education was developed and led to new outcomes, whereas 23% said that research in this area was just replication of studies. The study used descriptive and Delphi methods to develop the main study tool, which was a criteria questionnaire of 21st-century innovative research. This was achieved by a survey given to 16 experts in innovation research methods and the gifted education. The questionnaire was given to them in three rounds: the first was by using an open-ended questionnaire, while the second and third were by using a closed-ended questionnaire. By applying the questionnaire to a sample of 160 researchers, the reliability and validity ranged between (0.6-0.8). Results indicated agreement degrees between (46.6%-44%). The suggested framework for innovation in research of the gifted education was developed in the light of criteria proposed by the experts. The study recommended taking advantage of the proposed framework according to the specified dimensions; and conducting research to develop gifted education studies, for it is a major tool to define the framework of providing services to the gifted.

Key Skills

In today's knowledge society, knowing how to interpret, search, communicate and share new information are key skills for a successful citizen. Such skills, known as 21st century skills, include critical thinking, teamwork, communication, among others. Currently, there are several proposals on how to integrate the learning of these skills in basic education, including through the teaching of computing. Yet, based on the hypothesis that teaching computing can contribute to the learning of 21st century skills, there is few systematically evidence available to support this claim. One reason for this absence is the lack of 21st century skills assessment models. Thus, the objective of this article is to develop and evaluate a model for the assessment of 21st century skills in the context of teaching computing in basic education. Based on the results of a mapping study, the bASES21 model is systematically developed as well as its measurement instrument, a self-assessment questionnaire. An initial assessment in terms of reliability and validity of the measurement instrument, based on 148 responses from students in basic education, indicate a high internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.958). Results regarding the validity of the instrument were inconclusive. Even although some skills demonstrate internal correlation, an improvement opportunity is the possible re-classification of items based on a more detailed analysis with a larger sample. Thus, the bASES21 model represents a first step supporting the assessment of 21st century skills, aiming at the systematic improvement of teaching computing in basic education.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan aplikasi e-modul berbasis smartphone pada materi integral tak tentu berorientasi keterampilan abad ke-21 yang valid, praktis, dan efektif. Penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dari Borg dan Gall yang dimodifikasi menjadi enam langkah. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa hasil skor validasi ahli materi sebesar 4.2 termasuk kategori valid, ahli media diperoleh 3.8 termasuk kategori valid dan guru matematika diperoleh 3.7 termasuk kategori valid. Sedangkan hasil efektivitas diperoleh dari persentase ketuntasan 70% dengan kategori tinggi, dan n-gain sebesar 0,7682 termasuk kategori interpretasi tinggi. Lebih jauh, hasil praktis diperoleh 44.55 jumlah rata-rata skor pernyataan yang termasuk kategori sangat praktis dan 39.80 jumlah rata-rata skor pernyataan yang termasuk kategori praktis. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengembangan aplikasi e-modul berbasis smartphone merupakan media yang valid, praktis, dan efektif. Abstract: The research aims to produce a valid, practical, and effective smartphone-based e-module applications 21st-century skills-oriented integral material. The Research method was developmental research (R&D) according to Borg and Gall which was modified into six steps. The results of the research show that the validity of material experts score is 4.2 (valid category), media experts obtained is 3.8 (valid category) and the mathematics teacher score is 3.7 (valid category). While the effectiveness results obtained from the percentage of completeness of 70% with a high category and n-gain of 0.7682 including the high interpretation category. As well as the practical results obtained 44.55 the average number of statements in the very practical category and 39.80 the average number of statements in the practical category. Based on these results it can be concluded that the development of smartphone-based e-module applications is a valid, practical, and effective medium.
