Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This study developed "Sa Aming Tahanan," a digital storybook aimed at promoting open parent-child communication and family unity among 2nd-grade learners, aligned with the Department of Education (DepEd) Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (Values Education) curriculum. Guided by Cognitive Load Theory and Mayer’s Multimedia Principles, the project integrated visuals, text, and narration to enhance engagement, comprehension, and retention. Data was gathered through key informant interviews with educators, school personnel, and a professional illustrator, while student feedback assessed clarity, moral lessons, and emotional resonance. Findings indicate that the storybook effectively conveyed the value of familial cooperation, nurtured understanding of parent-child interactions, and captured learners’ attention through age-appropriate design and relatable narratives. The study demonstrates that multimedia storybooks, when thoughtfully designed, serve as an effective tool for fostering socio-emotional and cognitive development in children while supporting the teaching of culturally grounded values.
