Development and Evaluation of a Mobile-Learning Application Based on the Felder-Silverman Learning Styles Model

Abstract

Every student has a different learning style. Not all of these learning styles can be facilitated through classroom learning. Mobile learning (m-learning) is the use of mobile technology to support learning activities and facilitate a variety of student learning styles. However, no previous studies of the development of m-learning products have tested the possibility of facilitating different learning styles within a single M-learning application. This study describes the development and evaluation of an adaptive m-learning application that can facilitate the needs of different students. The Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model was used as the reference for learning styles. The prototype application was developed using the user-centered design method, which includes user needs analysis, interaction design, application development, and usability testing. The designers followed the best practices laid out in Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design and Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction. A usability test of the prototype involving ten participants. Usability testing is carried out by conducting usability testing and filling out the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire by all participants. The result found that it had good usability.

LRAP: Layered Ring Based Adaptive and Personalized Usability Model for Mobile Commerce Apps

“…The user's actions are attentively observed in a secure setting, usually a lab equipped with cameras. The entire scenario was designed with the intention of collecting subjective, qualitative, and quantitative data that could be used to assess usability and identify interface problems [16]. Consequently, this method of measuring total user satisfaction.…”

Product Shape Design Scheme Evaluation Method Based on Spatial Data Mining

“…erefore, it has a broad application prospect in information processing, pattern recognition, intelligent control, and other fields. Neural network-based control is called neural network control [22][23][24][25]. Intelligent simulation based on a neural network is used for control and is an important form of intelligent control, which has achieved rapid development in recent years.…”

Studying Learner’s Player Learning Style for Generating Adaptive Learning Game

“…This problem with learning styles has prompted educational scholars to investigate and construct learning type models. The David A. Kolb Learning Style, The Learning Style of Peter Honey and Alan Mumford, and the Felder-Silverman Learning Styles Model(FSLSM) are examples of learning style theories that have been developed [17]. The FSLSM is used as a learning style reference in this study.…”

“…The FSLSM is the most appropriate learning-style model for analyzing the learning styles of e-learning users, according to Deborah, Baskaran, and Kannan 2014 [18]. The FSLSM can also be used to examine learning item preferences and e-learning system interaction designs [17]. In this section, we will look at different learning style models, specifically the Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM) 1988, to recognize learners' learning styles to build an adjustable GBL and thus deliver successful learning.…”
