Abstract

Affective design of educational applications mainly for children is vital to ensure that the learning process can be successfully delivered to the children. Understanding children's preferences in designing the educational application is important as it could induce a positive experience and ensure they are engaged with the application. Even though there are various kinds of educational applications in the market, the interface design specifically for children is still questionable. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the affective design components and elements of educational applications that are specifically appropriate for children and cater to their learning needs. This study employed a qualitative approach that comprised two activities; (i) works of literature searches retrieved from two main databases, and (ii) constructing the components and elements using thematic analysis. The findings revealed two components which are affective interface design and content.
