Partner With UsBridging classroom practice with academic research — exploring how digital animated films support children's participation and meaning-making in early childhood education.
As early childhood professionals navigate digital change, we examine educators' use of digital animated films to support participation and multimodal meaning-making. Building on research on children's technologies and ECEC practices (Arnott et al., 2020; Kewalramani et al., 2023; Lafton, 2019; Undheim, 2022) and on sociocultural theory and affordances (Vygotsky, 1978; Gibson, 1979), we report non-participant observations in ECEC settings. Analysis shows that strategic use of digital animated film features (pause, replay, still frames, soundscapes) enables dialogue, gesture, and interpretation with children. Co-viewing and prompts scaffold attention and extend connections to prior experience, as educators negotiate tensions around screen time, inclusion, and agency. We specify educators' moves and digital competencies for dialogic, ethical practice, with implications for rethinking professionalism in postdigital ECEC.
This research directly informs ArtiDojo's design — from the pause-and-replay controls that let educators freeze a frame for dialogue, to the built-in question prompts that scaffold children's attention. Our collaboration with UiT ensures that every feature is grounded in evidence about how children learn with digital media and how teachers can best facilitate that learning.
