ABSTRACT

Background

One of the technologies that can be used to enhance the education process is digital stories. Digital stories can be used for different purposes due to their benefits to the education process. When the research conducted on higher levels of education has been examined, it has been determined that the use of digital stories in science teaching has a positive effect on teaching and learning process. Yet, no study conducted to investigate the process of using digital stories in pre-school science activities has been found in the literature.

Purpose

Through the current study, it was aimed to investigate the pre-service teachers’ opinions and experiences about the process including the selection of the science concepts, preparation, and implementation of the digital story by focusing on the use of digital stories in pre-school science activities.

Study group and Method

The study was conducted on the basis of the multiple holistic case design. The study group of the current research is comprised of six pre-service teachers with differing levels of technology disposition. In the collection of the research data, observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis were used. In the analysis of the collected data, the data obtained from observations, interviews, and document analyses were evaluated together through content analysis.

Results:

The findings of the current study are presented under two main themes; the digital story as a material for education and the digital story as a means of technology for the teacher. The results are discussed in reference to the advantages of using digital stories in pre-school science activities, the dimensions that need to be improved, limitations of using digital stories, and digital literacy.

Conclusion

The current study has produced some data about the advantages of using digital stories in pre-school science activities, which aspects of them should be developed and which bring about limitations to their use. Another important conclusion of the current study points out the importance of incorporating technology in general and digital stories in particular into teacher training programs.

教育过程和教师的材料：数字讲故事在学前科学教育中的应用

摘要

背景

可用于加强教育过程的技术之一是数字故事。由于数字故事对教育过程的好处，它们可以用于不同的目的。在审查对高等教育进行的研究时，已经确定在科学教学中使用数字故事对教学过程有积极影响。然而，在文献中没有发现任何研究来调查在学前科学活动中使用数字故事的过程。

目的

通过当前的研究，旨在以数字故事在学前教育中的使用为重点，调查职前教师对数字故事的科学概念的选择、准备和实施等过程的看法和体验。科学活动。

研究组和方法

该研究是在多重整体案例设计的基础上进行的。本研究的研究小组由六名具有不同技术配置水平的职前教师组成。在收集研究数据时，使用了观察、半结构化访谈和文件分析。在对收集到的数据进行分析时，通过内容分析将观察、访谈和文件分析中获得的数据一起进行评估。

结果：

当前研究的结果分为两个主题：数字故事作为教育材料，数字故事作为教师的技术手段。讨论了在学前科学活动中使用数字故事的优势、需要改进的维度、使用数字故事的局限性和数字素养。

结论

目前的研究已经产生了一些关于在学前科学活动中使用数字故事的优势的数据，应该开发它们的哪些方面以及它们的使用带来的限制。当前研究的另一个重要结论指出了将一般技术和特别是数字故事纳入教师培训计划的重要性。
