Abstract
The study aims to reveal Turkish Language teacher candidates' metaphorical perceptions of the concept of digital story. The study is phenomenological research, which is one of the qualitative research approaches. The study group consists of 68 Turkish Language teacher candidates studying at Firat University, Education Faculty, Department of Turkish Language Education in 2018-2019. The study uses a purposeful sampling method to determine the study group of the study. To determine the teacher candidates' metaphorical perceptions of the concept of the digital story, the study employs a metaphor questionnaire form developed by the researchers. The metaphors obtained are analyzed according to their reasons, and themes are created. As a result of the research, it is revealed that teacher candidates perceive digital stories as an instructional, mind-building, versatile, facilitating, entertaining, curious, relaxing, remarkable, and transparent tool. These results confirm that digital stories should be used in the training of Turkish Language teacher candidates, and other teacher candidates as well.Keywords
