어포던스 관점에서 디지털 교과서 사용편의성에 영향을 미치는 요인분석 연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that affect the usability of digital text book based on affordance theories. This study, therefore, focuses on finding main factors that trigger and support students' learning activities when they study with a digital textbook. Participants in this study were a total of 100 5th grade students from three elementary schools. Four factors were identified after conducing the exploratory factor analysis. The identified factors included interface design, interactive multimedia, cognitive operation, and physical operation. Interface design was the most important factor affecting the usability of digital textbook while physical operation was the least important factor. Given the importance of interface design as a type of affordance that affect usability at studying digital textbooks, future studies should examine design principles that helps students perceive interface of digital textbook easily with less physical efforts.
