Abstract

Abstract : Children's literature is considered one of the most vital educational and cultural tools that contribute to building a child's personality and developing their cognitive and emotional capabilities. In the contemporary era, this field has undergone significant transformations due to rapid technological advancements and the emergence of various digital media, which have influenced the production and reception of literary texts directed at children. In this context, "Digital Children's Literature" has emerged, relying on the integration of multimedia such as images, sound, motion, and digital interaction to present literary content. This research aims to examine the role of children's literature in the digital age in shaping a child's personality through an analytical pedagogical approach. This approach seeks to highlight the key educational and cultural dimensions through which digital literature can contribute to developing the cognitive, social, and moral aspects of a child. Furthermore, the study analyzes the distinctive characteristics of digital children's literature and its impact on forming a child’s awareness and fostering their creative abilities. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology, examining various theoretical works and studies related to children's literature and digital education to determine the nature of the relationship between digital literature and personality development. The study concludes with several key findings, most notably that digital children's literature can serve as an effective educational tool if utilized consciously, taking into account the psychological and cognitive characteristics of children. Additionally, it can significantly contribute to stimulating imagination, creativity, and reinforcing social and cultural values.
