Establishing Interactions Between Learning Aid Types And Their Delivery Levels In Micro-Learning Environments Using Mobile Web At Imam Abdul Rahman Bin Faisal University

Abstract

The present study aims to recognize the best types of learning aids in micro-learning environments via mobile web and determine the best level that is appropriate for presenting these types, as well as examine the interaction between them, concerning their impact on learning programming skills with (C ++ ) language and its cognitive and performance aspects, as well as the usability of administrative information system students to use these environments. The experimental design (2 × 2) is utilized. It contains two independent variables: First, learning aids type in micro-learning environments, and it has two types, (Continuous learning aids versus on-demand learning aids). Second: The delivery level of learning aids in the microlearning environment, which includes two levels of aids, namely: (Brief aid versus detailed aid). The study included three dependent variables: Achievement related to the cognitive aspect of programming skills, performance rate, and the usability of the micro-learning environment via the mobile web. The research sample consists of (40) students from the third-level students, , College of sciences - Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University. They were distributed into (4) groups. One-way, and two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test are used to analyze the data. The results show that the on-demand aid type in micro-learning environments via mobile web is better than the continuous aid type and that the brief aid is better than the detailed aid. Furthermore, the best experimental treatment resulting from the interaction between the type and level of learning aid is for the treatment that uses brief learning aids on-demand.
