Research On The Design Of School-age Children’s Sinology Education App Based On The Flow Theory

The rapid development of mobile Internet has created more opportunities for the dissemination and acquisition of knowledge.With the boom of Sinology,children’s sinology education has also begun to use mobile applications to innovate the teaching content and form.However,at present,the mobile application of children’s Sinology education is still in the early stage of development,and there are many problems such as homogenization of content,complex functions and single interaction mode,which affect children’s interest in learning and willingness to use.Flow theory is a kind of positive psychology theory about optimal human experience.People in flow state can complete tasks with focus and pleasure.Therefore,from the perspective of flow,this paper takes the mobile application of Sinology education for school children aged 7-12 as the entry point and combines the actual research to seek the design strategy of product optimization,aiming to produce the mobile application of Sinology education that can make school children get the flow experience through design practice.Firstly,this paper elaborates the relevant theories of flow theory,the physiological and cognitive development characteristics of school-age children,the current situation and development trend of mobile application of children’s Sinology education,and proposes the feasibility of applying flow theory to mobile application design of school age children’s Sinology education.Secondly,the pain points and demands in the learning process of sinology of school-age children are collected and analyzed through user research,and the competitive products of existing products are analyzed based on the five elements of user experience,so as to explore the flow elements of mobile application of sinology education of school-age children.Thirdly,based on the relevant model of flow theory,the design strategy of mobile application of Sinology education for school-age children is proposed from four aspects of learning objectives,learning tasks,learning tools and learning feedback.Finally,the design strategy is adopted to guide the design practice of mobile application of Chinese culture education for school-age children,and the usability test and cardiac flow measurement are carried out to evaluate the design scheme.The practical results show that the introduction of flow theory into the mobile application design of sinology education for school-age children can bring pleasant and satisfying sinology learning experience for school-age children.Secondly,it also provides a new design idea for educational mobile application design and improves the application value of flow theory in product design.
