Multimedia-Influence-Achievement Model (MIAM): Proposed New Model as Predictive Determinant of Academic Achievement

The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increasing demand for new technologies to transmit learning content and facilitate student learning. This article aimed at presenting a new technology adoption model that examines the influence of multimedia exposure on learning motivation, and eventual student academic achievement. The current study focus propels the application of multimedia in education to facilitate students’ academic achievement. Using a sample of 354 students drawn from some secondary schools in Yaounde, data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The proposed new Multimedia-Influence-Achievement Model (MIAM) was tested and validated using SmartPLS 3.2.8 software. The analysis showed high factor loadings related to all the items indicating goodness of fit. The results showed that all six hypotheses expressed by the structural model were supported by the data. Multimedia exposure had a significant positive relationship with multimedia self-efficacy, attitude toward multimedia and learning motivation. Multimedia self-efficacy and attitude toward multimedia equally have significant positive relationship with learning motivation. Furthermore, the results proposed that learning motivation is a predictive determinant of student’s academic achievement. In light of the above results, identification of facilitating conditions is a prerequisite to introduction of multimedia technology in the teaching and learning process.

Using multimedia applications in teaching foreign language in terms of digitalization of education

The article deals with the didactic potential and the possibilities of using educational multimedia applications in the teaching process. In the study the importance of teachers' mastering the skills of using multimedia ap-plications, as well as the knowledge of their essence and capabilities, methodological and psychological-didactic foundations of their usage is stated. The authors consider the notion and types of educational multi-media applications, peculiarities of their usage in various pedagogical scenarios. The technical support for creating multimedia applications by teachers can be represented by the special authoring software tools, that is, programs that provide opportunities for independent building of effective interactive multimedia applica-tions for non-programmers, such as Macromedia Flash, iSpring Suit, Macromedia Director, Authorware Pro-fessional, etc. Multimedia applications can be recommended for usage as a communicative component of the educational environment. The effective performance of pedagogical scenarios of multimedia usage in the ed-ucational process contributes to the development of the learner’s independence and creativity, his active posi-tion as a subject of communicative interaction.

A mixed-method systematic review of the effectiveness and acceptability of preoperative psychological preparation programmes to reduce paediatric preoperative anxiety in elective surgery.

To explore the effectiveness of preoperative psychological preparation programmes aimed to reduce paediatric preoperative anxiety and the potential factors that could have an impact on parent and children's acceptance of such interventions. Various preoperative psychological preparation programmes are available to address paediatric preoperative anxiety. No mixed-method review has been conducted to explore the effectiveness and acceptability of these programmes. A mixed-method systematic review. Seven bibliographic databases were searched from inception to September 2016, complemented by hand searching of key journals, the reference lists of relevant reviews, search for grey literature and the contacting of associated experts. The review process was conducted based on the framework developed by the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre. A narrative summary and a thematic synthesis were developed to synthesize the quantitative and qualitative data respectively, followed by a third synthesis to combine the previous syntheses. Nineteen controlled trials and eleven qualitative studies were included for data synthesis. The controlled trials reveal that educational multimedia applications and web-based programmes may reduce paediatric preoperative anxiety, while the effectiveness of therapeutic play and books remains uncertain. Qualitative studies showed parent-child dyads seek different levels of information. Providing matched information provision to each parent and child, actively involving children and their parents and teaching them coping skills, may be the essential hallmarks of a successful preoperative psychological preparation. Further research is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of therapeutic play and books.

The research shows the basic evaluation result, the mark of standard and technical degrade of experimented group much surpass that of contrasted group, the teaching effects are obviously different.

Psychological Evaluation of Educational Multimedia Applications

This paper describes the psychological evaluation of educational multimedia applications, which has the potential to be a new direction for applied psychology, arising as it does at the intersection of multimedia technology, education, and psychology, including general, cognitive, developmental, educational, and personality psychology. The paper analyzes the current situation in the field of educational multimedia, and proposes a framework for psychological evaluation of educational multimedia applications. The proposed approach to psychological evaluation of the quality of educational multimedia products involves the following five dimensions: (1) the individual; (2) the learning approach or model; (3) specific characteristics of multimedia technology; (4) the environment; and (5) the relationship among the previous four dimensions.

Measuring learning styles with questionnaires versus direct observation of preferential choice behavior in authentic learning situations: the visualizer/verbalizer behavior observation scale (VV-BOS)

Research on learning styles and their assessment has been the focus of growing interest due to rapid advances in educational multimedia applications. As an alternative to conventional questionnaires, the VV-BOS, a computer-based instrument for direct observation of students' preference for visual or verbal learning material in an authentic learning situation, was developed. A study with 103 second language learners was conducted to assess the reliability and validity of the scale scores provided by this instrument. The visualizer/verbalizer scale scores were highly reliable. They correlated moderately with corresponding VVQ and ELSIE questionnaire scale scores. Students' learning outcome could successfully be predicted using the VV-BOS scale, but not using the questionnaire scales. The results indicate that the direct observation of students' preferential choice behavior is a promising alternative to conventional questionnaires for the assessment of individual differences in multimedia training and instruction.

Interdisciplinary innovation: psychoeducational multimedia technologies

This article presents new ideas arising at the intersection of many subfields of psychology – including child, cognitive, developmental, educational, general, personality, and media psychology, – as well as education and multimedia, and leading to the creation of an innovative type of educational multimedia 1 1 Educational multimedia applications” means on-line (e.g., Internet) and off-line (e.g., CD-ROMs and CD-Is) multimedia products and services devoted to learning, teaching, and training of various knowledge domains. In turn, “multimedia” in general refers to a new generation of communication tools, which can draw on a full range of audio-visual resources – from text and data to sound and pictures – and which store and process all these diverse data in a single integrated delivery system. A general definition of multimedia describes an integrated presentation which combines at least three of: • Text (including notes, captions, subtitles and resources such as tables of contents, indexes, dictionaries and help facilities). • Data (such as tables, charts, graphs, spreadsheets, statistics and raw data of various kinds). • Audio (including speech, music, atmospheric background noise and sound effects). • Graphics (often ranging from traditional media such as drawings, prints, maps and posters to images processed or created entirely within a computer). • Photographic images, from negatives, slides, prints or even digital cameras (which record photographic images directly as computer graphics). • Animation (whether recorded on film or video, or created with a computer). • Moving pictures (specifically, digital video either converted from analogue film and video, or created entirely within a computer). technologies – psychoeducational multimedia technologies (PEMTs). The existing educational multimedia applications are critically examined. The nature of PEMTs, their basis, and specific traits are considered. One of the most developing multimedia areas, “edutainment”, is in fact transformed into “psychoedutainment”. Finally, one of the possible kinds of PEMTs – high intellectual and creative educational multimedia technologies (HICEMTs) – are discussed.

Reusing multi-media components: a catalogue implementation

Educational multi-media applications can be deconstructed so that individual components, e.g. video clips, sound clips, photographs and text can be reused in new multi-media applications. EuropeMMM (Efficient Usage of Remote and Online Publication of Electronic Multi-Media Materials) is an EU funded project addressing the custom publishing of multi-media components. A catalogue of multi-media components at varying degrees of granularity has been set up and is available both for authors and publishers who want to publish their material, and for teachers who want access to a wider range of materials. The EuropeMMM catalogue acts both as a directory of material for which copyright conditions apply and as a repository of free components.

Children as designers of educational multimedia software

A surge of interest has been seen in the use of multimedia in educational computer applications. Some researchers examine which particular benefits media provide for students' learning. A different approach looks at students' learning experience while creating their own educational multimedia applications. We present and discuss the results of a project in which seven teams of elementary school students were involved in designing and implementing interactive multimedia resources in science for younger children. We found that students improved significantly in their science understanding and programming skills. While the student teams included many multimedia features in their software, a closer examination of students' individual contributions to the software product revealed that not every aspect of multimedia programming afforded the same type learning opportunities for science and programming. We discuss the benefits and problems of integrating science content with multimedia design and discuss why the quality of dynamic and interactive components in students' multimedia production proved to be a better indicator of students' learning than the quantity of multimedia produced. Furthermore, we address how students' learning experience is also impacted by their conceptions of multimedia users.
