The Effect of the use of Educational Digital Comics in Primary School Fourth Grade Turkish Course on Students’ Writing Skills and Self-Efficiency
Öz
This study aims to examine the impact of educational digital comics on the writing skills and writing self-efficacy of fourth-grade students in Turkish lessons. A quantitative research method, the pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design, was used. The study’s participants were 70 fourth-grade students (34 experimental and 36 control groups) from a primary school in Manisa during the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample was chosen using a non-random sampling method, and groups were determined through random selection with the approval of teachers and administrators. Data were collected using the “Writing Self-Efficacy Scale” and the “Writing Skills Rubric”. The Writing Skills Rubric was used to assess students’ writing abilities, considering factors such as word choice, grammar, readability, and mechanics. The Writing Self-Efficacy Scale was applied at the beginning and end of the process to evaluate the students’ self-efficacy in writing, including their writing attitudes, independent writing, reflective writing, and resistance to writing. Data analysis was performed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, independent sample t-test, dependent sample t-test, and exploratory factor analysis with SPSS software. Results showed that the experimental group, who received instruction using educational digital comics, had higher writing skills and self-efficacy compared to the control group. The study concluded that educational digital comics are effective in improving writing skills, and suggested that such tools could be used to foster creativity and diversity in education. Additionally, it was suggested that digital comics could be used in other subjects and skills as well.
