Design And Development Of MG Animation Micro-course "Adolescence Sprouting"

Adolescence is a transitional stage from juvenile to maturity.It is generally faced with the gradual maturity of sexual physiology and the relative lag of sexual development in puberty.The disharmony of physical and mental development is prone to generate problems and obstacles.Therefore,it is very necessary for youths to accept adolescent sex education.It is generally necessary to give adolescent students the knowledge of sexual physiology and sexual psychology.However,it is not suitable for direct telling and presentation since the privacy characteristic of adolescent sex education topic.Therefore,there are more difficulties when this knowledge is taught.For this point,animation,an exploratory form was adopted.At present,the picture books,books and movies of adolescent sex education are presented more frequently,but there are few educational resources of visual micro-courses which could be used directly for adolescent sex education.Furthermore,the target objects are not clear and the application scenarios are not clear.Given the needs and problems expounded above,micro-courses are designed in virtue of the vivid and interesting animation to convey adolescent psychology knowledge to adolescent students in this thesis.It is hoped to provide effective resources for adolescent students' sex education and case references for the further design of relevant education and teaching.The thesis firstly summarizes the research status of micro-courses and adolescent sex education at home and abroad,and then elaborate the definition of micro-class and the concept,the principles,the types,the processes and the technical supports of the design and development.With the demand analysis of micro-courses and the study of related theories,the difficulties of the micro-course“Adolescence" and the script design of micro-class production were analyzed followed by a systematic introduction of the producing process of micro-course "Adolescence".The producing process includes animation style and scene design,character design and implementation,dubbing and music synthesis and post-editing.The fifth chapter of the thesis introduces the evaluation of the effect of the micro-class.The research adopts the focus group discussion as the research method.In the process of design and development of the micro-class,two rounds of trial broadcasting were conducted,and the feedback from the teachers and the students in the focus group of the micro-class prototype is constantly adjusted to improve the content and the design of the micro-courses to optimize the application of the micro-courses continuously.At the end of the thesis,the problems and shortcomings in the design and production of the micro-course are reflected,and the educational situation that the micro-class can be applied in the future is prospected.Practical application in a larger sample range to obtain more comprehensive and accurate effect feedback data is suggested in the subsequent research.Furthermore,micro-classes of other aspects of adolescent sex education should be developed.
