Website Color Planning on Hospital School for Strengthening Learning Support of Children with Cancer

Abstract

For the children with cancer who are unable to continue their education due to long-term hospitalization and are having difficulties in returning to the senior or advanced grade, the purpose of the website color of the hospital school is to help to strengthen the study and psychological healing. For this purpose, data were collected through literature survey related to psychology, education, hospital, etc. We conducted in-depth interviews with the children and specialists, and obtained the results by analyzing the color status of the websites of hospital schools in Korea and abroad. In the previous study, ‘learning’ was one of the most important factors in the growth and development of the infant, and it was found that the color was helpful as the reinforcement of learning support and the role of psychological healing. The results of the surveys and in-depth interviews that have been conducted to verify this have also supported the necessity and needs of color improvement. The color palettes were proposed by taking into consideration the survey results, the in–depth interviews, and the color analysis results of the websites of domestic and overseas hospital schools. Based on the results of the research, it is expected that the proposed color palettes will be applied not only to the color plan of the hospital school website but also to the color application of digital textbooks, mobile apps and other media related to smart devices.
