Incorporating digital story in children's literature among pre-service teachers

Abstract

The purpose of this study aimed to explore the creation of digital story in learning children's literature amongpre-service teachers (PSTs) as well as their perceptions towards the use of digital story in their future classroom. This case study involved four participants who were in their third semester in their bachelor degree programme. Their digital story, reflective journals and the focus group interview were analysed thematically and triangulated. The findings showed that the PSTs increased their understanding in content and pedagogy knowledge, enhanced skills in technology integration, preparation for future classroom activities and noteworthy motivation after the course. This study provides implications for future teacher education to integrate digital story in the courses.
