Özet:

This study attempts to present the findings of the literature review on the educational outcomes of students in studies using digital storytelling studies at all levels of education in Turkey by using the document review method. The main purpose is to investigate the impact digital storytelling on students' learning outcomes from various perspectives. In addition, there are some other factors such as research topics, publication years, total number of publications, and the level of education at which the studies were conducted. ERIC, Google Scholar, EBSCO and CoHE National Thesis Center digital databases were used for this research. 1113 studies containing the concept of digital story were analyzed for this research. Among 179 studies, 108 studies affecting educational outcomes were reached. These studies were selected between 2014-2022. As a result, 108 studies were examined within the scope of the literature review, and this selection of research and theses focused on the educational outcomes of the digital storytelling method. Looking at the outcomes, we can see that the advantage of the effectiveness of the digital storytelling method is positive and it is beneficial for educational outcomes. The review also reveals that the digital storytelling method provides a useful and effective way of using digital storytelling in the educational field. Some basic and common barriers to the application of digital storytelling method in learning environments need to be identified as pre-design, design phase and post-design. In this way, the process can be analysed more accurately and in this direction, it can be determined at which stage of the process there are deficiencies. Basically, the student, instructor and digital story design tool should be handled separately in the process and the points that need to be improved should be analysed. In the literature studies examined in this research, similar deficiencies regarding the digital story process stand out. At this point, it is observed that it would be beneficial to guide the students, identify their deficiencies and present the digital story stages to them in practice. In addition, it is thought that it is important to provide training to teachers about multimedia tools and digital story design tools. It can be said that it would be useful for Web 2.0 and digital story design tool designers to receive feedback from both students and teachers for the development of related systems. In addition, the fact that the related literature studies which are concentrated at a certain educational level and in certain subject areas reveals the need for more research in other educational levels and subject areas. It also revealed that feedback should be provided in a planned manner, the relevant design environment and technological opportunities for students should be expanded, teachers should be trained on this issue, the use of digital story software should be more user-friendly, and students should be given practical lessons on processing multimedia elements.
