Action Research Proposal


Graphic design and learning interfaces used on tablets. • Improve children’s learning • To inform better learning interface design in order to help parents and teachers profile children and match to specific strategies THE QUESTION:

“How tablet interfaces improves children’s learning”


Research to date: Technology is a part of the way children learn. (Jouneau-Sion and Touze (2012)) , (Couse, Leslie J., and Dora W. Chen. 2010. ) https://www.apple.com/education/docs/iPad_in_Education_Results.pdf

• My research will be qualitative in nature – Surveying teachers and resource assistances at school – Blind survey – Cluster analysis to explore the findings

My thoughts lean towards an app but I would like to see the final data before making a decision.


1. Fifty Three. Pencil, 2013.

2. Letter M Press. Š2013

3. Christoph Niemann. 2013

4. Monster Slide by Niki de Saint Phalle in Rabinovich Park, Kiryat Hayovel, Jerusalem


Contribution to research • Improves academic performance by integrating technology with classic writing tools for fine motor development. • Increases engagement and motivation for learning. • Adds instructional flexibility and resource efficiency • Integrated focus on content quality and design cognitive and linguistic benefits of technology. • Gross motor skills verses fine motor skills both engage a haptic response.
