Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of the information technology and software course in a rural high school by the method of digital narrative of the Ethics and Security unit on students’ access. The research is in the pre-test-sontest control group semi-experimental pattern. The work group is two sixth-class branches of a village high school located in the Özalp district of Van. There are 24 students in the control group and 23 students in the experiment group. As a data collection tool, Personal Information Form and Ethics and Security Unit Success Test have been used. In addition to the information form, the success test was applied. During the five-week study, three-week trial periods, the units were processed using the same materials and methods in both groups. Unlike the control group, the experiment group was given digital story script writing tasks for three weeks; the chosen group’s story was converted to digital story by the teacher with the help of the group in Microsoft (Ms) PowerPoint software, and these stories were traced into the experiment group. After the experiment, it was tested. There was no significant difference between the group’s estest average success score, but the difference between the group’s estest and the estest score was significant. Based on this, the ethics and security unit has concluded that the use of the digital story-making method has a positive impact on student success. Repeating similar studies in rural schools with technological infrastructure, creating digital stories directly by students in schools with computer laboratories, writing a digital story scenario while giving the task to each group to print stories about a different achievement and digitalize all stories.
