The Effect of Digital Storytelling Activities on Prospective Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Digital Writing
Abstract
Digital storytelling includes a writing process that is conducive to enhance writing skills at various stages of the educational process. By incorporating elements such as text, video, visuals, and sound, students create digital stories through applications on computers, mobile phones, and other digital platforms, employing multimedia formats. This approach leverages multiple media components, appealing to different senses within the digital story, and aims to aid in the retention of learning. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of digital storytelling activities on preservice teachers' attitudes toward digital writing and to gather their perspectives on the process. A mixed-method approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods, was adopted for this study. The quantitative dimension adopted a single-group pretest-posttest experimental design, whereas the qualitative dimension involved evaluating the preservice teachers' reflective journals on the process. The study was conducted with students (n=31) from the primary education department of Faculty of Education at Pamukkale University. Research data were collected via the "Attitude Scale for Writing in Digital Environments (DOYAT)," developed by Kırmızı, Kapıkıran, and Akkaya (2021), and the participants' reflective journals. The study was implemented over eight weeks, with sessions held twice per week. Upon comparing the pretest-posttest results and the journal findings, it was observed that digital storytelling activities positively influenced preservice teachers' attitudes toward digital writing. Findings from their reflections indicate improvements in their digial competencies, digital writing skills, and social skills. On the other hand, participants reported facing challenges in editing images, adding sound, structuring stories, and sequencing transitions. The process of creating animations for digital stories emerged as the most time-consuming difficulty for the preservice teachers.
