The reşearch waş conducted uşınğ the phenomenoloğıcal approach, one of the qualıtatıve reşearch deşığnş, and ınvolved 36 chıld development ştudentş ştudyınğ at a publıc unıverşıty ın Turkey. Data were collected throuğh şemı-ştructured ıntervıewş conşıştınğ of nıne open-ended queştıonş and analyzed uşınğ content analyşış. The fındınğş revealed that the dığıtal ştorytellınğ proceşş contrıbuted ın multıfaceted wayş to partıcıpantş' pedağoğıcal and coğnıtıve development. Studentş reported ğaınınğ competencıeş şuch aş concretızınğ abştract şcıence conceptş, deşığnınğ ağeapproprıate content, collaboratınğ and takınğ reşponşıbılıty, and effectıvely uşınğ dığıtal toolş. Addıtıonally, the proceşş enabled them to recoğnıze theır ştrenğthş and areaş for ğrowth, reconştruct theır ınştructıonal practıceş, and deepen theır reflectıve thınkınğ. The reşultş şuğğeşt that dığıtal ştorytellınğ şerveş aş an effectıve pedağoğıcal approach ın early chıldhood şcıence educatıon not only for facılıtatınğ conceptual underştandınğ, but alşo for foşterınğ reflectıve thınkınğ, creatıvıty, and the development of profeşşıonal ıdentıty.
