Storytelling in Education
Storytelling in education — the use of narrative as a pedagogical tool to engage learners, convey meaning, and support knowledge construction, creativity, and emotional connection. Storytelling is a natural and motivating way for learners to make sense of the world, and it is increasingly combined with technology — including AI and social robots — to create interactive, adaptive narrative experiences. Digital and robot-mediated storytelling can add interactivity, personalization, and embodiment that conventional (paper-based or slide-based) storytelling lacks.
Storytelling is grounded in Motivation, Student Engagement, and constructivist theories of learning. It supports Language Learning, Creativity, Social Emotional Learning, and comprehension. In the AI era, LLM-powered and robot-mediated storytelling enables co-creation, where learners and AI agents build stories together, and interactive narrative that responds to the learner.
