The user interface is particularly important for educational software because 1) it must provide an entry to the content domain of the program rather than vice versa and 2) it must be sensitive to the general skill and/or developmental level of the user. In spite of these special characteristics, interface design for educational software has been given little attention. This study evaluates a representative interface from arithmetic software now used in the schools. It was found that the interface caused students a large number of difficulties. These difficulties were sufficient to interfere with the instructional effectiveness of the software. Designing interfaces that will benefit educational software will require careful study of the users of these programs along with an in-depth understanding of the domains being taught.
用户界面对于教育软件特别重要,因为1)它必须提供程序内容域的入口,而不是相反; 2)它必须对用户的一般技能和/或发展水平敏感。尽管具有这些特殊特性,但教育软件的界面设计却很少受到关注。这项研究从学校现在使用的算术软件中评估了一个具有代表性的界面。发现该界面给学生带来了很多困难。这些困难足以干扰软件的教学效果。设计将使教育软件受益的界面将需要对这些程序的用户进行仔细研究,并深入了解所教授的领域。 P>
