Abstract

This research paper delves into teachers\\\' perspectives on the utilization of various forms of teaching stories in Hindi, evaluating their effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities within educational settings. The study synthesizes insights from quantitative surveys with a broad spectrum of educators. It aims to assess how teaching stories, ranging from traditional narratives to modern digital formats, are integrated into Hindi language teaching and how they align with pedagogical objectives and cultural sensitivities. Preliminary findings reveal a predominantly positive attitude towards teaching stories as versatile tools for enhancing student engagement, language acquisition, and moral development. Nevertheless, educators have voiced concerns regarding the cultural appropriateness, curricular alignment, and the practicalities of incorporating digital storytelling methods. Despite these challenges, there is a strong recognition of the potential teaching stories hold in catering to the diverse needs of a global classroom. The paper advocates for targeted professional development, curriculum integration strategies, and the provision of resources to facilitate the effective use of teaching stories. This study contributes valuable insights into the pedagogical utility of teaching stories in Hindi education, emphasizing their role in creating more inclusive and dynamic learning experiences.
