Abstract
This research aims to develop a blended training curriculum based on a connectivism approach to enhance innovation creation ability using local learning content. The research was conducted using two research and development steps consisting of: 1) studying connectivism related activities and how they can be organized to enhance student teachers’ innovation creation skills by conducting an in depth interview with 5 experts and 2) developing and assessing the quality of the curriculum. The research instruments used in this study included a semi-structured interview, a curriculum evaluation form and a field record form to study the feasibility of the curriculum Data were analyzed using content analysis and descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation). The research results found revealed as follows: 1. The results of studying the blended learning activity organization based on the connectivism approach to enhance innovation development using local content revealed that: 1) the design of blended training activities should be flexible in terms of time, location and should determine what activities and content should be done face-to-face training in the classroom or online, and 2) the organization of training activities should be done face-to-face in order to give learners the opportunity for presentation, doing authentic activities to develop their skills and also organizing training activities through online platforms using social media and other technologies for knowledge transmission by scheduling online interactions and online media for study, discussion, and online exercises and use a variety of teaching techniques and at the final learning step, learner's activity should involve the process of sharing and disseminating in order for the outside community to understand as well. 2. The results of curriculum development and quality assessment revealed that the developed curriculum consisted of principles of the curriculum, objectives of the curriculum, curriculum learning units, curriculum training methods, duration, structure, media and learning resources, and assessment and evaluation of learning outcomes.The training processes according to the connectionism approach consist of four namely; 1) Scope and Inquiring, 2) Connection and utilizing resources, 3) Connection and utilizing resources and 4) Sharing. The results of the curriculum quality assessment by experts found that all components and supporting documents were appropriate at a high level and the results of conducting a pilot study revealed that the curriculum was feasible.
