어린이 앱북 컨텐츠 유형에 따른 어린이 디자인 요소 적용에 관한 연구 - 안전 요소 중심으로 -

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore developmental potentials for whether functions of educational contents for children can be improved via suggestions on element application possibilities and necessary elements in creating app books by applying safety elements among 4 key elements in design for children to app book contents. An analysis framework concentrated on functionality and usability except for environmental performance was prepared for the safety elements, and the characteristics and interfaces of 3 types of app book contents for children that are currently in service were compared and analyzed. As a result, the app book contents could confirm application possibilities for functionality and usability. Generally, similar results came out on functionality. As for usability, they were easy for children to operate, and simple layouts and buttons were assigned. In addition, scenes with images were more common than those with texts, and it was found that sounds were generated in order to draw children"s attention whenever interactions took place. Based on the results, it is expected that the necessity of more detailed analyses on design elements should be recognized for app book contents, as the contents aiming for child education, to carry out effective functions in respect of safety elements and that app book contents can be constantly developed by adding design elements for children in terms of not only visual aspects but also functional aspects of the contents.
