“…Because pragmatic quality consists of three subscales for usability (Laugwitz et al., 2008), a correlation with product aesthetics is to be expected. Furthermore, the interplay between usability and aesthetics is dependent on the phase of use (see Lee & Koubek, 2012) and complex: a recent meta-analysis has shown that aesthetics can even have a small positive effect on actual user performance (Thielsch et al., 2019). Additionally, it is probable that products of a high tier are often designed to be equally beautiful and pragmatic, whereas low-tier products lack both qualities.…”

“…Sensitivity refers to the percentage of positively valued products that actually receive a scale score larger than the cutpoint, whereas specificity refers to the percentage of negatively valued products that actually receive a scale score smaller than the cutpoint. The cutpoint that yields the highest sum of sensitivity + specificity (i.e., Youden-index) is considered optimal (Hirschfeld & Thielsch, 2015; Thielsch et al., 2019).…”

Aesthetics is essential to the design of products. Nevertheless, aesthetic quality is often assessed with inaccurate, ad hoc scales. Therefore, we have developed the Product Aesthetics Inventory (PAI) and its short version, the PAI-S. A Pre-Study using face-to-face interviews (N = 6 design experts, N = 4 product users) served as basis for the development of test items. The resulting item battery was then used by N = 6,002 persons in an online survey to evaluate various types of household appliances. In Study 1, n = 3,000 of those participants' data were used to determine the number of product aesthetics factors and to select the optimal items by combining exploratory graph analysis (EGA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approaches. We found an eight-factor structure consisting of the dimensions Visual Aesthetics, Operating Elements, Logo, Feedback Sounds, Operating Sounds, Haptic, Interaction Aesthetics, and Impression. In Study 2, we confirmed this structure by a CFA with the remaining n = 3,002 participants, resulting in excellent model fit. Further, construct validity was confirmed by correlations with other established aesthetic scales, intentions, and general judgments. In both studies, strict measurement invariance was achieved across four household appliances, which further highlights the psychometric quality of the newly developed scales. In Study 3 (N = 1,028), we demonstrated that most of the PAI factors as well as reliability, validity, and measurement invariance findings generalized to power tools, office equipment, and home entertainment devices. Finally, we provide recommendations for the usage of the PAI and implications for further research.

“…Terdapat beberapa kajian yang telah dijalankan berkaitan dengan keberkesanan aplikasi pembelajaran interaktif dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar pelajar. Daud et al (2020) Peranti mudah alih dan aplikasi perisian dengan paparan estetik persekitaran pembelajaran yang menarik boleh memberi kesan ke atas faktor berkaitan motivasi ke atas pembelajaran (Thielsch et al, 2019) dan memberi impak yang lebih kuat kepada pelajar sekolah rendah dan sekolah menengah berbanding pelajar pasca menengah (Brom et al, 2018;Wong & Adesope, 2021). Oleh itu, paparan estetik boleh meningkatkan minat dalam pembelajaran sains.…”

Penggunaan teknologi dalam pendidikan terutamanya aplikasi pembelajaran interaktif adalah signifikan dalam membantu meningkatkan motivasi belajar dan pemahaman pelajar dalam konsep sains yang abstrak. Dalam usaha membangunkan bakat masa depan seperti yang dinyatakan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12 dan selaras dengan Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia 2013 – 2025, kerajaan telah berusaha menyediakan infrastruktur seperti elektrik dan capaian internet kepada semua sekolah. Kesedaran guru terhadap kelebihan dan kepentingan pengajaran dan pembelajaran menggunakan teknologi dan aplikasi yang berkualiti adalah amat penting. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keberkesanan aplikasi pembelajaran interaktif terhadap peningkatan pencapaian pelajar dalam mata pelajaran Fizik. Seramai 50 orang pelajar Tingkatan 4 dan Tingkatan 5 daripada dua buah sekolah di Daerah Serian, Sarawak telah dipilih secara sampel bertujuan untuk menyertai kajian. Kajian ini adalah berbentuk kuantitatif. Pengumpulan data adalah melalui penggunaan ujian pra, ujian pasca dan borang kaji selidik atas talian menggunakan aplikasi Google Form. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi menggunakan perisian SPSS versi 26.0. Dapatan kajian pertama menunjukkan bahawa terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan di antara markah ujian pra dan ujian pasca (min=30.80, s.p.=4.247); (t = 51.275, p =.000). Dapatan kajian kedua menunjukkan bahawa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan di antara motivasi belajar Fizik setelah menggunakan aplikasi pembelajaran interaktif dengan peningkatan pencapaian pelajar dalam mata pelajaran Fizik (r = 0.747, n = 50, p < 0.05). Oleh itu, guru hendaklah menambahbaikkan kepakaran dalam penggunaan teknologi pendidikan serta merancang dan melaksana aktiviti pengajaran dan pembelajaran yang lebih bermakna. Kajian masa depan dapat diperluaskan kepada faktor jantina dan kepada populasi yang lebih luas.

“…In the current study, we define design aesthetics as the design characteristics of an artefact including form, tone, colour, and texture, while we use the term aesthetic appraisal when we refer to the evaluative judgment of a subjective aesthetic experience of the interaction with an artefact [ [2], see also [25,26,22]] for the distinction between aesthetic appraisal and judgement]. Recently there has been growing interest in the potential causal effect of design aesthetics on user behaviour and performance [see [27] for a recent review]. Empirical evidence regarding this possible link has yielded conflicting results [28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”
