摘要：The aim of the study was to evaluate digital stories prepared by preservice teachers in the frame of their planning, content, mechanics, story structure, and use of technology dimensions. Additionally, the study aimed to reveal differences among the aforementioned dimensions’ scores. In order to achieve this, the study’s participants attended a course on theoretical and technological process and tools implemented in digital story creation. A total of 46 digital stories were scored via a rubric and then analyzed. From the analysis, only the content dimension received a high score, whilst all other dimensions were scored at the medium level. The results revealed a significant difference among the digital storytelling dimensions, with mechanics, story structure, and use of technology dimensions negatively differentiated from content and planning. These findings support the use of digital storytelling content that is primarily based on the use of technology and basic digital storytelling principles for science teacher education programs. From this point of view, it can be strongly said that both in field education courses and for instructional technology and vocational courses, the potential for preservice teachers to graduate with having acquired higher skill levels may be realized through digital storytelling. So, teacher education programs should be supported by digital storytelling activities and instructions.
