E-Content in Enhancing Creativity among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

Electronic content is becoming more and more popular in today's educational system since it works well for students and helps teachers who employ tailored instruction techniques. According to the Consortium for Educational Communication, achieving specific educational objectives is the primary goal of creating e-content. In light of this, the researchers set out to create e-content on a chosen topic related to creativity. Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) must be practiced in order to be creative in the advancement of both teaching and learning. Among the HOTS, creativity is one that must be incorporated constantly and daily. It is that crucial. The e-content that the investigators created incorporates a variety of aspects, including objectives, audio, videos, text, AI films, animations, illustrations, text with pictures, assignments, quizzes, tutorials, and references. The major purpose of the study was to assess the influence of the E-Content module intervention on prospective teachers' creativity. For both the pre- and post-tests, we used a single group design. We selected 48 aspiring teachers from the Department of Education, GRI - DTBU, Gandhigram, Dindigul, using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using research tools such as the E-Content Module and a performance-based evaluation exam. A performance-based evaluation exam was utilized to assess effectiveness both before and after the intervention with the e-content module. The study's findings revealed that using e-content in the classroom improves student achievement for aspiring teachers. Thus, educators should use electronic information to spark the interest of potential instructors in learning.
