| Abstract | The objectives of this research were 1) create electronic storybooks utilizing artificial intelligence technology to foster gratitude in early childhood, and 2) assess the levels of gratitude in preschool children before and after engaging in experiential learning activities with the AI-developed electronic storybooks. The study utilized a research and development (R&D) methodology including four phases. Phase 1 entailed executing in-depth interviews with 12 parents and an early childhood educator to investigate current issues and requirements associated with fostering appreciation in early life. Data were gathered utilizing an in-depth interview guide and examined by content analysis. Phase 2 concentrated on the design and development of electronic storybooks. The electronic storybooks' quality was assessed with a quality evaluation form, and the results were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Phase 3 entailed the deployment of electronic storybooks for a cohort of 12 preschool students. A thankfulness questionnaire served as the research instrument, and the results were analyzed utilizing the mean and standard deviation. Phase 4 involved the assessment of electronic storybooks about their advantages, suitability, and areas needing enhancement by six experts, utilizing an open-ended questionnaire examined by content analysis. The research findings indicated that 1) the four developed electronic storybooks were suitable and could be effectively utilized as instructional media to foster gratitude in early childhood; and 2) preschool children exhibited elevated levels of gratitude following participation in experiential learning activities utilizing the electronic storybooks in comparison to prior to the intervention at the .01 level of significance. According to this research, utilizing AI-developed electronic storybooks in educational activities is an effective way for fostering gratitude in the context of early childhood. |
