Development of Digital Storytelling Learning Activities using Generative Artificial Intelligence to Promote Digital Literacy for 5 Grade Students

Abstract

 This study aimed to: (1) develop learning activities based on digital storytelling integrated with generative artificial intelligence to enhance digital literacy; (2) examine the effects of the implemented learning activities on students’ digital literacy achievement; and (3) investigate students’ satisfaction with the learning experience. The participants comprised 33 Grade 5/1 students from Praneelwatchara School, under the jurisdiction of the Samut Prakan Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The sample was selected through simple random sampling. The learning activities and lesson plans were designed according to the principles of digital storytelling. Data collection instruments included a digital literacy assessment and a student satisfaction questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze data related to objectives (1) and (3), while a paired samples t-test was used to examine differences in digital literacy achievement before and after the intervention for objective (2). The results indicated that: (1) the overall quality of the learning activities was rated at the highest level (M = 4.91, S.D.=1.15); (2) students demonstrated significantly higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores at the .05 level, confirming the effectiveness of the intervention; and (3) students reported the highest level of satisfaction with the learning activities (M=4.75, S.D.=0.38).

These findings suggest that digital storytelling-based learning activities utilizing generative artificial intelligence can effectively foster digital literacy among primary school students.
