Abstract

Integration of digital storytelling in education has transformed traditional teaching methods to foster active student participation in classroom settings. With the increasing use of digital storytelling, there is a necessity to delve deeper into its effective implementation, effects, and the changing learning environment. The lack of a comprehensive understanding has emphasized the need to fully leverage digital storytelling to enrich students’ learning experiences. Therefore, this scoping review aims to investigate the effectiveness of digital storytelling in different educational settings and explore the challenges related to digital literacy skills met by teachers and students, impacting the efficient implementation of digital storytelling. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), a total of 51 articles from 2019 to 2023 were selected from Scopus in order to illustrate the current state. The articles were analyzed based on their similarities, and the results were tabulated in the following tables. The findings concluded that digital storytelling is an excellent method for improving literacy abilities, enhancing computational thinking and developing digital knowledge and intelligence among students. The findings also implied that longitudinal studies should be conducted more in the future to figure out how digital storytelling affects students' academic and career growth over time.
