The Effect of Storytelling on the Ethical and Social Intelligence of the Students of the Sixth Parenting School in Shoshtamad

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of storytelling on their ethical, social and their components on sixth grade elementary school students in Sheshtamad. The present study is an applied research objective and the research method is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all sixth grade female students in Sheshtamad city in the academic year of 97-96. A total of 60 students were selected through cluster random sampling and divided into two experimental groups (30) and control group (30 People) were replaced. The experimental group received the storytelling program in 10 sessions of 45 minutes and 10 weeks (one session per week), and the control group did not intervene. The required data were collected using Lnick & Kiel's (2005) Ethical Intelligence Questionnaire and Tet's Social Inventory Questionnaire (2008). Data were analyzed using covariance analysis using SPSS software version 23. The results showed that storytelling is effective on moral intelligence, social intelligence and its components. The follow-up test (after 2.5 months) also suggests the sustainability of interactive storytelling, so an interventional storytelling method can be used to improve moral intelligence, social intelligence and its components.
