Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a mobile magazine application (M-IKLIM) that provides content on climate change for middle school students within the scope of the TÜBİTAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) 2209/A project, and to evaluate the usability of this application. The research was conducted using the Design-Based Research (DBR) method. The study group consists of middle school students. The Mobile Application Satisfaction Questionnaire (MASQ), developed by Namlı (2010), was used as the data collection tool. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analyses. In the descriptive analyses, the mean and standard deviation values of each survey question were calculated. In the correlation analyses, the relationships among the survey data were examined. According to the research results, the M-IKLIM application was generally evaluated positively by the students. Students indicated that the application is user-friendly and suitable for its purpose. The survey results show that the application is generally understandable and not complex. Correlation analyses revealed that user-friendly interfaces and the safety of the application increase student satisfaction. However, it was determined that improvements need to be made in some areas. In future studies, it is recommended to analyze user feedback in more detail and continuously improve the application based on this feedback.
