Digital Storytelling for Early Childhood Creativity: Diffusion of Innovation “3-D Coloring Quiver Application Based on Augmented Reality Technology in Children's Creativity Development”

Abstract

One of the important activities in children's learning that is rarely explored is creativity. This is an important concept for the successful implementation of early childhood education programs. Every child's creative talent must be developed. Opportunities and learning resources in the form of an environment to explore sources and media need to be given to children in realizing their creative potential. The growing digital world and children's interest in devices such as smartphones are an opportunity for teachers to take advantage of interactive and interesting ICT-based learning resources and media through audio, visual and audio visual media. Utilization through the wise use of digital resources and media for children is an important part of learning. Digital Storytelling in coloring activities through the “Quiver 3-D Coloring based on augmented reality technology” application offers the integration of virtual objects into a real environment forming three-dimensional animations on smartphones, color pictures for children, presenting digital stories at the end of the activity, so that children have an interest so that their creativity will develop. The purpose of this research is to spread "augmented reality technology with Quiver-3D coloring application in developing children's creativity" by presenting digital stories. The approach used in this research is descriptive analysis method through a qualitative-quantitative approach. The data in this research were obtained by direct observation and research-related questions to informants. The results of the research show that: "children's creativity develops well through digital storytelling learning with 3-D Coloring based on Augmented Reality applications".
