Phát triển năng lực số cho học sinh lớp 9 thông qua tổ chức dạy học kết hợp trong môn Khoa học tự nhiên

Tóm tắt

In the context of the ongoing digital transformation in education, developing students’ digital competence has become a strategic priority for general education. This study aims to propose and implement a blended learning model to enhance digital competence among lower secondary school students through the Grade 9 Natural Science curriculum. The research draws on established digital competence frameworks from the European Commission (DigComp 2.2), UNESCO, and the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training (2025). A three-phase instructional design was developed, consisting of pre-class preparation (online), in-class instruction (face-to-face), and post-class consolidation and extension (face-to-face). Within this structure, various digital learning tools such as Google Classroom, PhET simulations, and SCORM-based e-learning content were integrated. The model was trialed in a lesson on light refraction and total internal reflection with 41 ninth-graders. Results show that students not only acquired scientific knowledge effectively but also demonstrated increased proficiency in digital skills including online collaboration, digital safety, and content creation. The study concludes that blended learning is a promising pedagogical approach to systematically foster digital competence in secondary science education.
