| Summary: | Cognitive Science is a relatively young field as compared to other scientific fields. It is seen as a challenge to educate the Malaysian society about Cognitive Sciences. This study aims to design relevant content for a mobile learning application to introduce Cognitive Sciences.
Four higher secondary school students from Kuching, Sarawak were selected to participate in this study. A think aloud protocol was conducted to observe the verbalization ofthoughts of the respondents when interacting with the content presented. A questionnaire adapted from the Learning Objectives Review Instrument (LORI) vl.5 model and a standardized interview were also carried out to understand the perspectives of respondents towards the learning content. The results obtained from the think aloud protocol revealed that the respondents had shown a positive reaction as they went through the Cognitive Sciences content in the mobile application. The questionnaire adapted from the LORI v 1.5 Model and the interview, however, had found three problems in the content design namely motivation, accessibility
and reusability. In short, modifications had to be made to the learning content in order to produce effective content for a mobile learning application in introducing Cognitive Sciences. |
