Abstract

Developments in technology have enabled the use of multimedia tools in the educational process. Along with the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) tools in the educational process, the format of stories, a traditional educational tool, has changed and a new genre, digital stories, has emerged. A literature review has shown that digital stories have been used in many curricula, however, studies have focused on the use of these stories in language education. This study basically aims to present a systematic review of the studies using digital storytelling in language education. Theses, articles and project studies conducted between 2004 and 2021 in the literature were analyzed within the scope of this study, and 96 studies that used digital storytelling method in language education were found. Of these publications, 35 studies conducted using experimental method and in which arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were presented were analyzed using the meta-analysis method. The results of the research showed that digital storytelling method in language education was used for four basic language skills. In addition, 51% of the studies were related to narrative skill, the majority of the studies using digital stories in language education were prepared in quantitative (41%) and qualitative (34%) designs, and the digital storytelling method had a positive impact on acquisition and development of all language skills.

Dil Eğitiminde Dijital Öyküleme Yönteminin Kullanılması: Sistematik Derleme Çalışması

Abstract

Teknolojide yaşanan gelişmeler multimedya araçlarının eğitim sürecinde kullanılmasını sağlamıştır. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri araçlarının eğitim sürecine dâhil edilmesiyle geleneksel bir eğitim aracı olan öykülerin formatı değişmiş ve yeni bir tür olan dijital öyküler ortaya çıkmıştır. Alanyazın incelendiğinde dijital öykülerin birçok müfredat alanında kullanıldığı ancak araştırmaların bu öykülerin dil eğitiminde kullanımı üzerinde yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, dil eğitiminde dijital öyküleme yöntemini kullanan araştırmaların sistematik bir derlemesini sunmaktır. Alanyazında 2004-2021 yılları arasında yapılmış tez, makale ve proje çalışmaları incelendiğinde, dil eğitiminde dijital öyküleme yönteminin kullanıldığı 96 araştırmaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmalar arasından, deneysel yöntemle yapılmış, aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapmanın verildiği 35 araştırma meta analiz ile incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonunda dil eğitiminde dijital öykü yönteminin dört temel dil becerisi için kullanıldığı ancak araştırmaların %51’inin anlatma becerisine yönelik olduğu; dil eğitiminde dijital öykü kullanan araştırmaların büyük bir kısmının nicel (%41) ve nitel araştırma (%34) deseninde hazırlandığı; dijital öykü yönteminin bütün dil becerilerinin kazandırılması ve geliştirilmesi süreçlerine olumlu etki sağladığı görülmüştür.
