«THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA EDUCATIONAL APPLICATION , TO INFORM AND SENSITIZE CHILDREN ABOUT THE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF FORESTS»
Summary:
The rapid growth of technology, science, and the economy has led to significant changes and impacts on the environment. It is very important that education and information of students about the natural environment and forest ecosystems start at an early age.
The progressive degradation of forest ecosystems and the numerous fires that ravage our planet every year, led to the choice of the topic and the desire to write this paper.
As part of this paper, an interactive multimedia educational application on the topic of forests was developed for children aged 9-12. The aim of this application is to activate and inform students about forest-related topics, as well as to deepen and restructure their existing knowledge. Furthermore, this interactive multimedia application can serve as an additional tool and, in combination with other activities, help to raise children's awareness of forest conservation and the use of environmentally friendly practices.
Nowadays, the development of new technological tools and Implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, can improve the educational process, make it more attractive and enable learning. Part of these new technological tools are the interactive multimedia educational applications, that can be used as alternative learning tools in the classroom. These applications have the potential to provide future solutions to complex environmental problems by enabling participants to engage in real-life scenarios.
The final part of this paper describes the process of evaluation of the interactive multimedia application by teachers and children, presents the results and draws conclusions.
