    Abstract

    Background: Digital storytelling has emerged as an innovative pedagogical approach that promotes meaningful learning experiences and enhances student engagement.

    Objectives: This study examined the themes and values embedded in digital storybooks created by pre-service teachers and explored their implications for teaching English in elementary education.

    Methods: Using a qualitative content analysis design, ten digital storybooks were purposively selected based on predetermined inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed through directed content analysis using an adapted thematic analysis framework.

    Results: Findings revealed nine major themes. The most prominent were exploration-related themes (3 out of 10 storybooks, 30%) and family-sharing themes (3 out of 10 storybooks, 30%), followed by community-oriented themes (2 out of 10 storybooks, 20%). Other themes included parent-child communication and financial responsibility. The digital storybooks also embodied core values such as respect, compassion, humility, responsibility, tolerance, forgiveness, and commitment to the common good.

    Conclusions: These findings suggest that digital storybooks can serve as effective resources for integrating language development, values education, and socio-emotional learning in elementary English classrooms. The study is limited by its small sample size and context-specific dataset. Further research should include a larger dataset and cross-cultural analysis to strengthen the generalizability of findings.

    Abstract

    Background: During health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic, children require accessible and developmentally appropriate resources to understand disease prevention and health-related behaviors. Children’s digital picture books have emerged as a promising medium for conveying public health messages through visual storytelling and age-appropriate narratives.

    Objectives: This study aimed to examine how children’s digital picture books represent disease preventive behaviors and moral values, using the Duma Says series as a case study.

    Methods: A qualitative visual and textual analysis was conducted on four digital picture books from the Duma Says Collector’s Edition. The study employed qualitative visual analysis and a critical discourse approach to examine representations of hygiene practices, social responsibility, and community engagement embedded in both images and narratives.

    Results: The findings indicate that the Duma Says series effectively integrates key COVID-19 preventive behaviors—such as handwashing, mask-wearing, social distancing, and sanitation—within child-friendly language and culturally contextualized visuals. In addition to promoting health practices, the books emphasize values of hope, responsibility, cooperation, and service, portraying children as active contributors to community well-being during a crisis.

    Conclusions: Children’s digital picture books, such as the Duma Says series, function as effective educational tools for promoting disease prevention awareness and values-based learning. Incorporating culturally grounded digital picture books into early childhood and health education may strengthen children’s health literacy, emotional resilience, and sense of social responsibility during public health emergencies.

    Abstract

    Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic settings has gained increasing attention, particularly in improving students' writing skills. ChatGPT, a generative AI tool, has been explored as a potential aid in academic writing, providing instant feedback and enhancing students' ability to structure, revise, and refine their written work. However, there remains a need to systematically assess its effectiveness in undergraduate education

    Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ChatGPT on the writing skills of undergraduate students through a scoping review, analyzing its effectiveness in enhancing grammar, vocabulary, coherence, and overall writing proficiency.

    Methods: A scoping review methodology was employed to identify relevant studies published between 2020 and 2024. A comprehensive search was conducted across seven academic databases: ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, Sage Journals, Taylor & Francis, and PubMed, using Boolean operators and predefined inclusion criteria. The studies were appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tool for quasi-experimental research and the ROBVIS checklist for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the risk of bias. The synthesis was conducted following the Synthesis Without Meta-Analysis (SWiM) guidelines, with PRISMA used for article selection and appraisal.

    Results: A total of nine studies were included in the review, conducted in Saudi Arabia, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, and India, involving a total of 839 undergraduate students. The duration of interventions varied, with most lasting between 10 to 16 weeks. The overall risk of bias was low, indicating strong methodological reliability. The findings revealed that ChatGPT significantly improved students' writing proficiency, particularly in areas of grammatical accuracy, vocabulary use, organization, and argument structure. Also, students using ChatGPT exhibited increased engagement and motivation in writing tasks compared to traditional methods. However, some studies cautioned against over-reliance on AI-generated text and raised concerns about academic integrity and originality.

    Conclusion: ChatGPT demonstrates promising potential as an AI-assisted writing tool, offering immediate feedback, structured learning support, and improved writing outcomes for undergraduate students. While its effectiveness is evident, further research is needed to establish best practices for integrating AI into academic writing instruction, ensuring that students develop critical thinking and independent writing skills while leveraging AI’s benefits responsibly.
