摘要:
Characters in educational videos have been shown to help children learn and transfer knowledge. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of realism and familiarity of characters on children's video learning. The participants were 90 4- to 6-year-olds. The children watched a video in which a character demonstrated how to construct simple gears, and then completed the same task to test the effect of the character's realism and familiarity on their learning and transfer of STEM knowledge. A 2 (high-reality vs. low-reality) x 2 (familiar, unfamiliar) experiment was adopted. The results showed that children learned STEM material better from live-action human characters than from animated animal characters. However, the familiarity of the character did not influence children's learning, and the parasocial relationship between children and the character also did not improve learning. The findings suggest that the realism of the characters, not their familiarity, is key in helping children learn from educational videos. IMPACT SUMMARYPrior State of Knowledge: Children's learning from screen-based educational media can be influenced by characteristics of the characters. Less is known about whether realistic and familiar characteristics improve children's screen learning.Novel Contributions: We created four characters based on combined realism and familiarity to explore whether some characters are better than others at promoting learning STEM information.Practical Implications: Our findings are relevant to producers of educational videos. Compared to animated characters, live-action human characters may better help children ages 4 to 6 years to learn from these videos.

摘要:
With the popularity of wireless communication and different mobile intelligent terminals, digital education management information systems are becoming increasingly popular among students. The problem of modernized teaching has significantly influenced and altered teaching quality evaluation methodologies and models. However, the findings revealed that the existing intelligent teaching quality diagnostic still needs to improve design and execution. As a result, creating an education management information system is critical, and establishing a digital education management information system has become a critical undertaking. To address these problems, this research paper presents a model for a digital education management information system (DEMIS) that utilizes wireless communication and BP neural networks (BPNNs) to manage digital education in schools. The paper highlights the significance of wireless communication and DEMIS in modern education. The study employs a grey prediction model and a BP neural network model to predict the trend of education development. The DEMIS is set up using MATLAB simulation with management constraint parameters, and the sample data originate from 85 instructors' digital education assessment ratings. The experiment is carried out in two parts: using the grey prediction model and the BPNNs, which verify the suggested method's efficacy in managing digital education in schools. The experimental findings suggest that, by combining wireless communication and BPNNs, the system can handle the campus network's information in a unified manner and give decision assistance to managers, which is very practicable. Therefore, the suggested DEMIS may effectively enhance students' learning experiences and education quality.
