The aim of this study was to determine the views of primary school teachers who gave language courses (mother tongue and foreign language) at the primary school level, about the use of information technologies, digital story preparation, and its use in lessons in the language teaching process. In the study, the phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The participants were primary school teachers and English teachers who took part in the Digital Story Preparation training given within the scope of the European Union Comenius Regio. Among the 30 teachers who joined the training, 14 voluntarily participated in the study. At the end of the training, a written form prepared to consult the written views of the teachers was used as a data collection tool in the study. According to the research results, the teachers had positive attitudes and thoughts about the use of information technologies in the language teaching process and used them in the preparation, teaching-learning process, and evaluation stages of their lessons. However, their tendency to use ready-made e-learning content was found to be high. In addition, it was concluded that the practice-based Digital Story Preparation training they attended was beneficial and that the training contributed positively to their own professional development as well as to their thoughts and attitudes regarding technology integration into education.

“…Focusing on vocabulary acquisition during middle school can enhance academic success and language proficiency. While literature has explored digital storytelling in subjects like mathematics (Büyükkarci & Müldür, 2022), science (Anastasiou, 2022;Kapucu & Avci, 2020), geography (Metwalli & Barakat, 2022), social studies (Seker, 2016;Yearta, 2019), and Arabic (Attia, 2016), this study examines it within English instruction. Previous work has studied high school (Leong et al, 2019; and university students' (Tanrkulu, 2022;Tyrou, 2022) perceptions of digital storytelling on vocabulary.…”

This study explores middle-school students' perceptions of using digital storytelling to enhance English vocabulary acquisition. A focus group methodology engaged 30 out of 136 female second-grade students, representing 22% of the community. Content analysis, following Merriam's (2015) steps, revealed two main categories: using digital stories for vocabulary acquisition and their effectiveness in improving language skills. Participants found digital storytelling enjoyable and memorable, with visual images aiding vocabulary retention and word comprehension. It also improved dictionary usage. The study concludes that digital storytelling enhances vocabulary, language proficiency, and grammatical understanding. Practical implications include integrating digital storytelling into English teaching for better vocabulary learning, providing clear context in stories, and including dictionary-related tasks for an engaging language learning experience. These insights contribute to the growing body of research supporting the value of digital storytelling in educational contexts. Based on the study, a key recommendation is to integrate digital storytelling into English language teaching with a focus on providing clear context within digital stories. This promises to enhance the language learning experience for middle school students seeking to improve their English vocabulary and language skills.

The high prevalence of child maltreatment requires innovative, scaleable solutions. Three community-wide surveys (2012, 2013, and 2016) in Touwsranten, South Africa, assessed parents’ positive parenting and corporal punishment; their mental health, substance misuse, parenting stress and intimate partner violence; children’s mental health; and interest in parenting support, in preparation for an intervention to support positive parenting. The first two surveys followed parents longitudinally. Focus group discussions were also held in 2017. Across surveys one and two, corporal punishment and positive parenting were reported as frequent. Child and parent mental health problems, parenting stress, intimate partner violence, and risky alcohol use increased across surveys 1 and 2 and remained steady at the third survey. Survey 3 revealed no change in corporal punishment, parent or child mental health, or intimate partner violence; reports of risky alcohol use and parenting stress increased; and there was a small increase in use of positive parenting strategies. Qualitative data suggested that corporal punishment, alcohol use, and intimate partner violence may have been under-reported. Parents indicated a desire for parenting support. The consequent intervention design included the delivery of four parenting programs alongside a social activation process intended to amplify the message of parenting programs, with the intention of increasing positive parenting and reducing corporal punishment community-wide.
