PARENTS’ VIEWS ON FORMS OF TRANSMITTING FAIRY TALES TO PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Summary/Abstract: The oral form is the earliest form of storytelling. Later, with the rise of interest in fairy tales and the publication of fairy tale books, some of them began to be transmitted to children through reading. Recently, many fairy tales have been screened, thus increasing the possibility of their audiovisual experience. The goal of this research is to identify differences in the form in which fairy tales are transmitted by parents to children. The research sample consisted of 57 parents of preschool children, divided into two groups: parents aged up to 35 years and parents aged over 35 years. This division provided us with answers to the research question: Is there a difference in the form of transmitting fairy tales between parents aged up to 35 years and parents over 35 years old? The research results show that there is a significant difference in the form of transmitting fairy tales depending on the age of the parents when the fairy tales are told, p=.025, and when they are read p=.011, while there is no significant difference, p=.715, when fairy tales are watched on smart devices. Parents reported that their children watch fairy tales on smart devices, but they think the greatest educational value is oral storytelling.
