DIGITAL MULTISENSORY STORYTELLING AS EDUCATIONAL-DIDACTIC METHODOLOGY
Abstract
The learning process can benefit from the support of digital and multisensory components. This research investigates the effect produced by two different narration methodologies on a sample of 40 5-year-old children. The control group participated in storytelling, while the experimental group took part in digital multisensory storytelling. The results have shown that the second methodology is linked to a higher ability to recall the story orally and to the implication of greater emotions in children in retelling phase.
