Towards the definition of a framework for the management of interactive collaborative learning applications for preschoolers

Abstract:

The adoption of technologies in education has been changing the traditional teaching system considerably. New educational paradigms make use of technological tools to enhance the knowledge given in a classroom. In the literature review there aren't reports of Frameworks that are based on models and methods for developing Interactive Collaborative Learning Applications for Preschoolers (ICLAP). This paper proposes a meta-model for a Framework supporting the development of ICLAP taking into account the technology, the educational aspect and collaborative techniques that were observed during the attendance to sessions in schools. The ICLAP meta-model includes useful concepts for the use of Augmented Reality since we found that it emerges as a technology of interest in diverse areas and especially in education. Our contribution could be used for teachers, designers and developers as a conceptual guide. In addition, a study case is presented to illustrate the main concepts included in the meta-model.
