Abstract

Digital storytelling technique is based on a presentation of course content in a story form using multimedia tools. In this study, digital stories were designed for mathematics instruction with preschool pre-service teachers. At the end of the six-week study, preschool students viewed the digital stories created. The study aimed to determine the effects of digital storytelling technique on the views of preschool pre-service teachers on the course of mathematics and the reactions of preschool students, who viewed the digital stories to the mathematics course. It was observed that pre-service teachers and preschool students considered the above-mentioned technique as interesting, funny but time-consuming.

Key words: Digital storytelling technique, mathematics course, preschool students.
