StoryTIC project – A digital tool to promote oral narrative skills in preschool children
24 de July de 2023
StoryTIC is a narrative intervention program to work on the oral narrative skills of preschool children (3 to 6 years old). :
- It enhances oral and corporal communication (empirical evidence with more than 120 children who have received 9 intervention sessions with 3 stories)
- It enhances the use of the Catalan language
- Promotes the inclusion of children in the classroom and helps in the coordination of professionals who work with these children
- It offers two different supports: universal support (applied in the classroom and aimed at all children) and intensive support (applied individually)
- Encourages interaction between children and professionals in a playful way
The intervention program consists of 3 video stories, which are worked on over 9 sessions and contain a didactic sequence to work on narrative and socio-communicative skills through videos of a storyteller, GIFs of bits of the story, body involvement and communicative activities. From Immersium Studio we will transform this intervention program into a digital format of a website to make it more intuitive and also contain more interactive elements such as Augmented Reality in some parts of the training.
The fact of offering two different supports, universal (applied in the classroom and addressed to all children) and intensive (applied individually) means that the stories can be applied both individually by a child or jointly in a class .
This project is being carried out thanks to the Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca AGAUR – Generalitat de Catalunya, and with collaboration of Departament de Traducció i Ciències del Llenguatge of Universitat Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
We are very happy to participate in projects like these in which innovative educational tools such as Augmented Reality are promoted. These tools bring new technologies closer to education and give it a more interactive look that favors interaction with children in a more playful manner.
