Abstract

With technology becoming an integral part of life, learning with technology has also become a salient method of education. This study aimed to explore the potential of using digital storytelling on students’ scientific creativity and team-work in a two-day science invention workshop in Taiwan. The results found that even in the short duration of the workshop, students reported positive levels of satisfaction towards their teamwork and development of social skills. The participants tried to express their own arguments during group discussions, understand other team members’ perspectives, work as a team, and have fun working in teams to solve the problems creatively and innovatively with the Edvisto digital storytelling platform. Additionally, the digital stories documented students’ process of discussion and interaction to create novel, useful, and surprising products when engaging in scientific creativity, which might be otherwise overlooked. This study also discusses some implications on how group digital storytelling may contribute to cultivating students’ higher-level thinking skills and complex problem-solving.
