중학교 과학 과목 디지털교과서의 UI디자인 요소의 색채 분석

초록

As the paradigm shifts into various fields such as education, medical care, finance and the public by the 4th industrial revolution, digital textbooks are spreading for smart learning according to the Ministry of Education Notice. However, there are insufficient researches on the color of UI design elements which are directly connected to reach learning contents among various studies related to digital textbooks. Therefore, this study emphasizes the fact that color affects learning and aims to analysis of UI design elements color of digital textbooks which consider users. To do this, we first investigated the previous research and related literature of digital textbooks, UI design elements, color, learning and cognition. In order to investigate the user’s consciousness, we visited two middle school digital textbook open class, and conducted a survey on teachers and first-year middle school students who had classroom experience using digital textbooks. In addition, we analyzed the color of UI design elements of digital textbooks of the first grade middle school science subjects published by 8 publishers. As a result, we found that the use of appropriate colors in the curriculum affects learning and we learned the UI design principles and the importance of colors proposed by many UI experts. Also, through the user survey, it was found that user’s preference color, consciousness about UI design and color were weak. Especially, the fact that 8 textbook publishers are designed without a common standard for digital textbook color and the use of color that deviates from the UI principle is considered to be an important factor for user’s smart learning. However, as the current use of digital textbooks is in the midst of some research schools, it is a tendency to focus on securing various high-quality contents and convenient functions rather than design and colors. Therefore, it is expected that the design and color will become more important as the digital textbook is fully activated in elementary, middle and high schools starting from 2018.
