Improving Vocational High School Students Digital Literacy Skill through Blended Learning Model

The accelerated development of information and communication technology (ICT) has an impact on ease of access to digital information. Information disseminated in the digital world is not always true and valid, thus vocational students as prospective professional workers should be equipped with digital literacy skills. One effort to improve student's digital literacy skills is by applying blended learning model that combines conventional learning model (face-to-face) with online learning model based on Learning Management System (LMS). This study aims at discovering whether there is a significant difference between control classes that apply conventional models with experimental classes that apply blended learning model. The research method used was Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design with 3 experimental classes and 3 control classes. The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences in digital literacy skills between the control classes and the experimental class, which means that the implementation of blended models can improve students' digital literacy skills.
