Abstract(s)

Despite the growing body of research suggesting the benefits of integrating comics into teaching practices, research on teachers' attitudes towards using comics in education is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine comic book reading habits and attitudes of preservice elementary teachers regarding the use of comics in education. The results revealed a lack of comic book reading habits: 37% indicated they have never engaged with this medium, and among those who have, the majority have not read any comic in the past year and only 16% had read science comics. Moreover, preservice teachers recognized the educational benefits of comics, such as engagement and contextualizing complex concepts, but also noted challenges like potential oversimplification and distraction for students with learning difficulties. The study highlights the need for strategies to enhance comic book reading habits and their effective integration into education.
