| Summary: | Learning through games is one of the most impactful teaching tools for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The children are used to fun environment like playing activities and it has become a necessity nowadays to improve the education quality for children with CP. The current games that are available at Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) are not attractive enough for the children with CP to play with frequently. They felt the existing games are very boring. This study investigates learning issues for children with CP. In order to solve the learning problem among children with CP, a systematic literature review was performed to identify the requirements required to develop a learning application user interface design model. The findings are translated into a Learning Software User Interface Design Model (LSUIDM), which would be used in developing other types of learning software user interface for children with CP. The LSUIDM consists of four components, which are determine type of application, get result achievement, result generation, and display of progress. Guidelines for designing and developing a learning prototype that are compatible with the limited capabilities of children with CP using LSUIDM are established to ensure children with CP are able to grasp the concepts of a learning software user interface prototype. The prototype is developed by using a game application and the GlovePie Tool. This prototype is evaluated by ten participants from PDK Tanjung Puteri, Johor Bahru. The findings from the user study show that the proposed LSUIDM can be applied in the design of learning software application for children with CP in order to improve their learning ability. |
