Investigation of Learning Process with TUI and GUI Based on Protocol Analysis

摘要

In this paper, we evaluated learning process of tangible user interface and graphical user interface. We investigate the effect of the user interface on learning process when user learn by using computer. When TUI and Graphical User Interface (GUI) were used, how an adopted interface may affect learning process was focused. We conducted the experiment to clarify the effect on learning process when a specific interface was used, difference in learning process is to be reviewed by using TUI and GUI. An analysis was conducted for the verification using a protocol analysis. Strategy of problem-solving by using two systems were similar in case of early in the experiment. Adopting other measures when getting familiar with such problems, however, it has been proved that participants find out a correct answer by accumulating sub-goal achievement in case of GUI and they figure out a correct answer while taking various measures such as searching of clues and accumulation of sub-goal achievement in case of TUI.
