“…Structural attributes are non-content presentation features, including feedback and scaffolding (e.g., "Solution" scaffold revealing a worked example). Further evidence of personal attributes of subjects [46,47] and structural attributes of artifacts [38,48,49] is present in other literature.…”

Abstract:Technology is an increasingly important component of education. Children's mathematical interactions with technology have become a focus of mathematics education research, but less research has investigated constructs that contribute to these mathematical interactions. Attributes of children and technology play a key role in mathematical interactions and both children and technology can modify attributes during these interactions. Grounded in the Artifact-Centric Activity Theory and linked to recent developments in research on technology in mathematics education, this qualitative study extended an earlier exploratory study to investigate attribute modification. In particular, this study examined patterns of attribute modification evident during fifth grade students' mathematical interactions with two mathematics virtual manipulative touchscreen tablet apps. Results included three categories related to attribute modification: (1) reactive attribute modification (linear progression or repeated repetition); (2) unperceived attributes and opportunities for proactive modification; and (3) proactive modification (seeking equilibrium, seeking disequilibrium, or seeking equilibrium and disequilibrium). Findings have implications for designers, teachers, and researchers of educational technology.

The purpose of this study is to adapt Digital Educational Games Usage Scale (DEGUS) that was developed byBonanno & Kommers (2008) to Turkish with the companion of a group of university students studying in departmentof English Teaching. In order for scale items to be the same in terms of language, firstly the translations of the itemswere carried out both from English to Turkish and Turkish to English, afterwards examining the forms gathered fromthe students, significant and positive correlations were detected among the data. Exploratory and confirmatory factoranalyses revealed that the scale had four dimensions. In item total correlation calculation of the scale it was observedthat all the items were above .40, item factor loads varied between .51 and .68, Cronbach Alpha internal consistencycoefficient was .78 and test retest correlation was .88. Significant relations were in the calculations regarding thecorrelation analyses of the scale.

“…She concluded that "acknowledging temperament-based guidance would show that each child has a particular behavioural style that contributes to his or her development and to the social environment". Jong et al (2013) stated that the posture and muscle loading of the body is significantly affected by various different interactive gaming controllers. It has been argued that the period of exposure to the interactive gaming controllers affects the success in using the game for the purposes of learning.…”

“…It has been argued that the period of exposure to the interactive gaming controllers affects the success in using the game for the purposes of learning. Jong et al (2013) aimed to explore the different behavioural responses based on the different temperaments regarding mathematical game play by comparing the touch-based and gesture-based interactive devices among 119 kindergarten participants. The results indicated that the touch-based interaction (TBI) group compared to the gesture-based interaction (GBI) group performed better with respect to numerical counting in both games.…”

Developing Educational Computer Animation Based on Human Personality Types

Computer animation in the past decade has become one of the most noticeable features of technology-based learning environments. By its definition, it refers to simulated motion pictures showing movement of drawn objects, and is often defined as the art in movement. Its educational application known as educational computer animation is considered to be one of the most elegant ways for preparing materials for teaching, and its importance in assisting learners to process, understand and remember information efficiently has vastly grown since the advent of powerful graphics-oriented computers era. Based on theories and facts of psychology, colour science, computer animation, geometric modelling and technical aesthetics, this study intends to establish an inter-disciplinary area of research towards a greater educational effectiveness. With today"s high Education, 2015, Vol.(11), Is. 1 53 educational demands as well as the lack of time provided for certain courses, classical educational methods have shown deficiencies in keeping up with the drastic changes observed in the digital era. Generally speaking, without taking into account various significant factors as, for instance, gender, age, level of interest and memory level, educational animations may turn out to be insufficient for learners or fail to meet their needs. Though, we have noticed that the applications of animation for education have been given only inadequate attention, and students" personality types of temperaments (sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, etc.) have never been taken into account. We suggest there is an interesting relationship here, and propose essential factors in creating educational animations based on students" personality types. Particularly, we study how information in computer animation may be presented in a more preferable way based on font types and their families, colours and colour schemes, emphasizing texts, shapes of characters designed by planar quadratic Bernstein-Bézier curves. The study has found out that both cholericmelancholic and phlegmatic-sanguine gained the lowest and the highest percentages in selection of different colour groups as cool, warm, and achromatic. We have experimentally confirmed the theory of Nabiyev & Ziatdinov (2014) which reports that planar quadratic Bernstein-Bézier curves with monotonic curvature function may be not aesthetic. Finally, based on the survey results, we have clarified how school students understand the fundamental principles of computer animation. We look forward that this study is likely to have wide benefits in the field of education. Developing educational materials with the aid of obtained empirical results, while considering the personality types of students" temperament, seems to be a promising avenue to improve, enrich and deepen the learning process in order to achieve its maximum effectiveness.
