Özet:

 The aim of this study is to reveal the impact of digital stories, designed by pre-service teachers using the digital storytelling method in social studies education and based on epics and legends, on educational processes, as well as the potential contributions of these stories as instructional materials. Accordingly, the pre-service teachers created digital stories in alignment with the learning domains of the 2024 Social Studies Curriculum. The study was conducted using a qualitative research approach, specifically a case study design. The study group consisted of 35 third-year students enrolled in the Social Studies Teacher Education program at a public university. The findings of the research were obtained through the analysis of the digital stories designed by the pre-service teachers. The results indicate that the digital storytelling method contributed to the development of the participants creative thinking and pedagogical skills, and functioned as a powerful tool that made learning processes more efficient and engaging. The functional use of narrative techniques such as flashbacks added literary depth to the stories, while the integration of visual and auditory elements helped to concretize abstract concepts, thereby enriching the learning experience. Furthermore, it was observed that the pre-service teachers incorporated geographical and cultural elements into their narratives, resulting in multilayered story structures. These findings suggest that digital storytelling can be used as an effective instructional strategy in social studies education and that digital tools possess significant potential to drive innovative transformation in educational contexts.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmen adaylarının sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde dijital hikâye yöntemini kullanarak destan ve efsaneler üzerine tasarladıkları dijital hikâyelerin eğitsel süreçlere etkisini ve öğretim materyali olarak sağlayabileceği katkıyı ortaya koymaktır. Bu sebeple araştırmada öğretmen adayları, 2024 Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretim Programının öğrenme alanlarına uygun olarak dijital ortamda destan ve efsane tasarlamışlardır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu, bir devlet üniversitesinde Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği programının üçüncü sınıfına devam eden 35 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın bulguları öğretmen adaylarının tasarlamış oldukları dijital hikayeler ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda dijital hikâye yönteminin öğretmen adaylarının yaratıcı düşünme ve pedagojik becerilerini geliştirmelerine yardımcı olduğu ve öğrenme süreçlerini daha verimli ve ilgi çekici hale getiren güçlü bir araç olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Olay örgüsünde flashback gibi anlatım tekniklerinin işlevsel kullanımı hikâyelere edebi derinlik kazandırırken; görsel ve işitsel öğelerin etkin kullanımı soyut kavramların somutlaştırılmasına olanak sağlamış ve öğrenme sürecini zenginleştirmiştir. Ayrıca, öğretmen adaylarının dijital hikâyelerinde coğrafi ve kültürel unsurları bütünleştirerek anlatılara çok katmanlı bir yapı kazandırdıkları gözlemlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, dijital hikâye anlatımının sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde etkili bir öğretim stratejisi olarak kullanılabileceğini ve dijital araçların eğitimde yenilikçi bir dönüşüm potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
