The purpose of this study was to investigate the teachers' multi-media application ability, their
perception on the use of multi-media for story-telling, and actual use in class. The survey, using a
questionnaire, was conducted targeting 225 teachers in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon. The results of
the study are as follows: Firstly, teachers who were younger, had a higher level of education, were
experienced in taking multi-media courses, and took charge of larger classes showed better ability
of multi-media application. And teachers who were trained on multi media as well as kindergarten
teachers indicated a more positive perception about applying multi-media for story-telling. In
addition, teachers who had higher levels of education, were experienced in taking multi-media
courses, and teaching larger classes at national/public institutions applied multi-media more
frequently. Secondly, the teachers' ability of applying multi-media, their perception on the use of
multi-media for story-telling, and their multi-media use in class indicated strong positive
correlations. Thirdly, a teacher's perception on the significance of the multi-media application for
story-telling, their skills for multi-media use, the size of classes, and the training experiences on
multi-media affected their actual application of multi-media for story-telling.
