Digital Life Stories in Year Four of Primary School
Demeny, Piroska
Acta Didactica Napocensia, v13 n2 p43-49 2020
In Romania, the curriculum for mother tongue education for grade three and four of primary school defines spoken and written text production in various communication situations as a general educational requirement and competence (see the curriculum for competence-based teaching of the mother tongue approved by Ministerial Decree No. 5003 of 4 December 2014. Hungarian Language and Literature, grade three and four). This experimental study examines the impact of digital storytelling on children's text production skills. Our aim was to design an intervention programme that develops primary school children's self-expression, text production skills, creativity but also their digital competencies. The goal is to use digital storytelling to develop children's composition skills, including staying on the subject, creating the connection between title and content, spelling, text appearance, and reaching the desired length. In order to achieve our objective, we devised experiments involving two cohorts of children in year four of primary school who were given stories selected from Angi Máté's book "Volt egyszer egy…" (Once upon a time there was a…). Using these stories as a starting point, the members of the both groups created their own stories, the experimental group applying digital storytelling, while the control group applied the technique of collage.
