Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the STREAM-based 21st-century learning model to improve students’ digital literacy. Method: This type of research method is a quantitative method by design pre and post-test non-equivalent control group design. The sample used was 150 students in the Jakarta area who were selected by a simple random sampling technique. Findings: The results of this study prove that the STREAM-based 21st-century learning model can be used as an alternative model that is feasible and effective to use to improve students’ digital literacy. Conclusion: The STREAM model can stimulate students’ digital literacy where they will be trained to think critically in solving problems and be able to process, assess, analyze and evaluate the digital information they get wisely reinforced by character values. The novelty of this research is that the STREAM model is a development of the STEAM model by adding an R element, namely Religion, which is implemented in the form of character and moral values. So, this model is a unified whole that includes science, technology, religion, engineering, art, and mathematics. Implications for Research and Practice: The results of this study can contribute and provide solutions for education practitioners in order to develop 21st-century learning models that are able to improve students’ digital literacy accompanied by good character and moral values.
