Title
Design requirements of mediating device for total physical response -A protocol analysis of preschool children`s behavioral patterns
 
Abstract
TPR(Total Physical Response) is a new representative learning method for children`s education. Today`s approach to TPR has focused on signals from a user which becomes input data in a human-computer interaction, but the accuracy of sensing from body signals(e. g. motion and voice) isn`t so perfect that it seems difficult to apply on an education system. To overcome these limits, we suggest a mediating interface device which can detect the user`s motion using correct numerical values such as acceleration and angular speed. In addition, we suggest new design requirements for the mediating device through analyzing children`s behavior as human factors by ethnography research and protocol analysis. As a result, we found that; children are unskilled in physical control when they use objects; tend to lean on an object unconsciously with touch. Also their behaviors are restricted, when they use objects. Therefore a mediating device should satisfy new design requirements which are make up for unskilled handling, support familiar and natural physical activity.
