Abstract

The integration of digital-based instructional media into practical learning environments has the potential to transform culinary education, particularly in the preparation of future culinary teachers. This study examines the effectiveness of digital tools, including virtual reality (VR) simulations, video tutorials, and interactive learning platforms, in enhancing practical learning outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data obtained through surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and focus group discussions to evaluate the effects of digital media on skill acquisition, learner engagement, and overall learning experiences. Participants consisted of aspiring culinary teachers, educators, and industry experts, providing a comprehensive perspective on the implementation and outcomes of digital instructional tools in culinary education. The findings indicate that digital-based instructional media significantly enhances practical learning by providing immersive, flexible, interactive, and accessible experiences that complement conventional instructional methods. Several factors were identified as important for successful implementation, including usability, accessibility, technological readiness, and alignment with pedagogical objectives. However, technical limitations, resource constraints, and resistance to technological change remain important challenges that may affect effective adoption. The study concludes that curriculum designers and educators should adopt systematic strategies for integrating digital technologies into culinary teacher training programs. Such strategies should ensure that technological applications support, rather than replace, essential hands-on culinary experiences. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on educational technology and its application in specialized vocational fields. It further highlights the transformative potential of digital media in addressing practical learning challenges while providing opportunities for future research involving emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR), in culinary education

Abstract

Scientific communication and character education are essential competencies in elementary STEM learning, yet classroom instruction often provides limited opportunities to integrate these competencies with local cultural resources and emerging technologies. This study investigated the effectiveness of AI-assisted folklore-based story writing in enhancing students' scientific communication and character values. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design was used with 68 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools. The experimental group participated in STEM learning integrated with AI-assisted folklore-based story writing, while the control group received conventional STEM instruction. Data were collected using four instruments: (1) a Scientific Communication Assessment Rubric assessing scientific explanation, scientific vocabulary, evidence-based reasoning, organization of scientific ideas, and communication clarity; (2) a Character Observation Sheet; (3) a Folklore-Based Story Writing Rubric; and (4) a Student Perception Questionnaire. All instruments were validated by experts and demonstrated satisfactory reliability, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.84 to 0.91. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro–Wilk and Levene's tests, paired- and independent-samples t-tests, normalized gain (N-gain), Cohen's d, and Pearson's correlation. The experimental group achieved significantly higher scores in scientific communication and character development than the control group (p < 0.001), with high N-gain values (0.73 and 0.69, respectively) and large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 1.48 and 1.36). Scientific communication was positively correlated with character development (r = 0.62, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that AI-assisted folklore-based story writing is an effective, culturally responsive approach for strengthening scientific communication, character values, and scientific literacy in elementary STEM education. Keywords: AI-assisted learning, folklore, scientific communication, character education, STEM learning.
