Abstract

Since the invention of television in the 201 h century, the conununication of information has been permanently changed. People have since got accustomed to convey information visually with words a secondary adjunct, and become less patient, particularly the new generation. The current teaching-learning process in primary education is mostly based on "chalk and talk", where teachers face challenges to attract and retain students' attention and interest in class using this conventional teaching practice. Thus, it is essential to explore alternative methods on how to engage students in the teaching-learning process. Storytelling is a simple but powerful method to explain complex matters. People tend to pay much more attention for what is told when the information is put into an interesting or exciting story. Stories have been told as far as time allows us to remember. In the middle ages stories were told orally by wandering bards and minstrels. In the 1980s new technologies like film, radio and television offered a new way of telling stories. Digital Storytelling is the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video, to create a short movie, typically with a strong emotional component. The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of implementing Digital Storytelling in primary level education to increase the leamability of students, using the Multimedia Production Process as the research methodology. This project is expected to contribute in terms of increasing student's engagement, attention, and memory recall in a particular subject during the teachinglearning process.
