The pilot training on Digital Stories Modules was structured as five full days (3 -7 May 2024) in the technology laboratory of the Fatih Atatürk Çağdaş Yaşam Çok Programlı Anadolu Lisesi building in Istanbul. The target group was 12 teachers working with students at different stages. On the first day, a folder containing the Instructor Training Booklet, the project brochure and a pen was distributed.
The training content was based on the content given during the training in Slovenia. Therefore, the same scheme was used by re-adapting it to the Turkish Class. Modules were presented, including the 5E methodology. For each module, a practical workshop was organized to involve the participants and show them how to implement the Digital Stories modules in their classes.
For the Pilot Training evaluation, a pre-test and a post-test were applied to the participants. Based on the pre-and post-pilot training responses to the question "How useful can Digital Stories teaching materials and tips be for your teaching?" a noticeable improvement in perception occurred. More participants perceived very high benefits in these areas after the training, reflecting increased confidence in the ability of digital storytelling to develop these skills effectively.
