Abstract

Despite multiple window interfaces have eliminated some user-interface problems by showing information in independent windows, disorientation, cognitive overload and split attention keeping up to date as an important problems of e-learning interfaces. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of parallel interface designs on the e-learning success of primary school students. For this purpose, three different parallel interface designs were created with the same content for experimental design. Content was selected as 4 basic traffic signals. This study was designed as general survey models. Performances of the students were examined through the questions related to recall, attention, and difficulty level of media. 9 6th grade primary school students participated in the application. According to the results of the application students were fever forced and best recall in 2nd level parallel interface design. However, students were faster in 3th level parallel interface design. At the end of the research solutions to the problems of the learner-interface interaction is presented by help of parallel interface designs. Özet Çok pencereli arayüzler, öğrenenlerin karşılaştığı problemlerin bir kısmını çözmüş olsalar da karmaşıklık, sürekli doğrusal ilerleme, yolunu kaybetme, aşırı bilişsel yüklenme ve dikkat bölünmesi problemleri güncelliğini korumaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı eğitim yazılımlarında paralel arayüz tasarımlarının ilköğretim öğrencilerinin e-öğrenme başarılarına etkilerini belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda aynı içeriğe sahip paralel üç farklı arayüz tasarımı oluşturulmuştur. İçerik olarak 4 temel trafik işareti seçilmiştir. Tarama modelinde desenlenen bu araştırma kapsamında öğrencilerin performansları için hatırlama, dikkat ve ortamın zorluk düzeyi sorgulanmıştır. Uygulama ilköğretim 6. sınıftan 9 öğrenciyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Uygulama sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin 2. paralellik düzeyinde daha az zorlandıkları ve verilen içeriği en iyi bu paralellik düzeyine sahip uygulamada hatırladıkları görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin 3. düzey paralellikte daha hızlı oldukları görülmüştür. Araştırma sonunda paralel arayüz tasarımlarından yararlanılarak öğrenen-arayüz etkileşim problemlerine yönelik çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.
