Tayfun Okur
Online Submission, Paper presented at the International Conference on New Horizons in Education (INTE) (2023)
In this research, activity of digital story were investigated by examining for the basic Turkish language skills of bilingual third grade primary school students. Volunteer teachers and their students were included in the study from the urban and rural schools of Sanliurfa in the southeastern region of Türkiye. Two primary teachers from urban schools and four primary teachers from rural schools in Sanliurfa and their third grade students were included in the study. During the study, 20 digital stories created and shared by teachers and students together. At the end of the digital story activities for basic language skills, interviews were conducted with teachers and students. Data was analysed from one-to-one interviews with teachers, focus group interviews with students and digital story documents. On the basis of data, it was concluded that making digital stories in class is a practice that increases the participation of bilingual third grade primary school students in the lesson by using their basic language skills effectively. It can be suggested that the activity of digital stories should be used for a longer period of time in all lessons in primary school and should be used to develop basic language skills in younger age groups such as kindergarten, first and second grade.
