In this framework, pre-test post-test control group model was used under semi-experimental design in this study. Study group consisted of a total of 68 7th grade students, 35 in control group and 33 in experimental group. In the experiment group, the lessons were continued with digital storytelling activities, while in the control group, lessons included research and investigation activities. The application was continued for 11 weeks and two different activities were conducted in both groups, one being the individual and the other cooperating. “Reflective Thinking Scale” was used for data collection prior and after implementation. Two participants in control group didn't included analysis process because they creates outlier. According to findings of the study, it was found a significant difference among groups' corrected post-test scores, favoring the experimental group. Accordingly the use of digital storytelling activities has an impact on the development of participants' reflective thinking skills. In addition, it has been determined that the number of activities/assignment performed by the participants in the online learning environment of the course is effective on the development of reflective thinking ability.
