Integrating Digital Narrative in Social Studies Teaching: Impact on Learning and Skills Development

Digital narrative has gained relevance in Social Studies teaching, allowing students to explore concepts in a more dynamic and participatory way. This research aims to integrate digital narrative into existing educational materials and curricula to support teachers in teaching Social Studies. A mixed qualitative and quantitative approach is used to evaluate the impact of digital narrative on student learning by collecting data through surveys before and after using digital narratives. The results indicate that digital narrative sparks interest, improves comprehension and retention of information, and strengthens critical thinking and analytical skills. Before the research, 61% of teachers did not use this strategy, but after its application, 97% consider that it generates dynamic and participatory learning in the inter-learning process. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
