Which factors may influence child User eXperience in distance learning?

The objective of this paper is to share the results of a “pilot study” conducted by the University of Siena in collaboration with the “Renato Fucini” Comprehensive Institute of Monteroni d’Arbia (SI). 96 children (42 males and 54 females), aged between 9 and 10 years attending the fifth grades of primary school, took part in the experimentation. Two different educational formats have been used in the study, the “Frontal Teaching” and the “Multimedia Teaching”. Six between subjects experiments have been carried out. At the end of each experiment a multiple-choice questionnaire (learning level evaluation) and the AttrakDiff questionnaire (UX evaluation) have been used. On the values obtained from multiple-choice questionnaire, the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test has been applied. Starting from UX role, a new analysis on experimental research results published in 2019 has been carried out. The research question related to the new data analysis has been “Which factors have positively influenced the pupils’ UX perceptions in Multimedia Teaching?”. The main factors identified have been six, confirming the results of other experimental research.
