Mathematics Teachers’ Evaluation of Digital Stories and Views

Abstract

Different tools are used in the evaluation of digital stories. However, it is thought that the evaluations of the teachers are at least as important as the formal and technical evaluations. The aim of this study was to investigate middle school mathematics teachers’ evaluations of 36 digital stories. Furthermore, at the end of the process, the aim was to examine their views on the use of digital stories in the learning environment. The participants were seven mathematics teachers. The data were analysed by content analysis. As a result of the research, it was seen that examples and mathematical activities were the most liked features of the digital stories. The least liked features were images, errors and examples. When the views of the teachers were examined, it was seen that all participants stated the need for digital stories in mathematics classes and wished to learn and use digital stories.
