Literature Review: Digital Books in Preschool Period
Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, v6 n4 p855-865 2023
The new generation of children, often referred to as digital natives, are growing up in a digital world, exposed to electronic gadgets and technology from an early age. Many everyday activities, including playtime, have shifted to digital environments. Digital picture story books, as a significant example, are becoming popular among children. While there are numerous studies on the positive effects of printed picture books on preschoolers' development, research on digital children's books is relatively limited. In Türkiye, 265 postgraduate thesis studies on digital books examined. Only 12 of these studies target preschool children. The analysis revealed that the first study on this subject was conducted in 2012, with master's level thesis in the department of early childhood education. However, there were no studies involving children with disabilities and their families. To improve the quality and quantity of research, it is recommended to include children with disabilities in future studies and explore the topic more thoroughly using data from families, teachers, and children through triangulation methods.
