The Effect of Digital Stories on 3rd Graders’ Achievement, Attitudes and Motivation in Science Lesson
Abstract
This research aimed to determine the effect of digital stories on 3rd grade students’ achievement, attitudes, and motivation in science lesson. For this purpose, explanatory sequential design, one of the mixed methods, was used in the research. The study group, composed of primary school 3rd grade students, was identified via convenience sampling method. The students in the experimental group watched the digital stories prepared by the researcher in the experimental process of the research. 10 cognitive learning outcomes related to the units "Our five senses", "Let's recognize the force" and "Let's know the matter" included the Primary School Third Grade Science Curriculum of Turkey were taken as the basis during the preparation of the digital stories used within the scope of the research. As a result of the quantitative data obtained from the research, it was concluded that experimental group students’ achievement, attitudes, and motivation were higher in the science lesson compared to control group students’ achievement, attitudes, and motivation. Based on the results of the qualitative data obtained from the research, it was determined that the students found digital stories entertaining, interesting and intriguing. In addition, it was concluded that digital stories facilitate students’ learning process and provide them with the opportunity to associate what is learned in the lesson with daily life. It is recommended to integrate digital stories into the current Science Curriculum in line with the results obtained from the research.
