A Review on Human–Computer Interaction Education Based on Active Learning using the DEMATEL Method

Abstract

The objective of the study was to explore how web lectures could be used to enhance the learning experience in an introductory human-computer interaction course. The researchers introduced web lectures as a method to deliver lecture material prior to class, allowing more interactive learning activities during in-class sessions instead of passive listening. A quasi-experiment was conducted over a 15-week semester, involving 46 students who were divided into two sections of the same course. One section utilized web lectures, while the other followed traditional lectures. To ensure fairness, several control measures were implemented, including the same instructor for both sections and blind grading. The findings revealed that the section using web lectures achieved significantly better grades compared to the section with traditional lectures. Moreover, students in the web lecture section reported increasingly positive attitudes towards this approach throughout the course. This research provides a twofold contribution: firstly, it demonstrates a new way of utilizing existing technology to enhance learning outcomes, and secondly, it presents a comprehensive, quasi-experimental evaluation of web lectures in the specific context of the course. Various undergraduate courses incorporate the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) and emphasize a theoretical approach that encompasses the entire process of creating effective interfaces for end users. However, instructors encounter difficulties in keeping students engaged during the introduction of these concepts and encouraging practical experience in HCI. The aim of this study is to propose a teaching and learning method that enhances student retention and promotes a deeper understanding of HCI. This method consists of two components. The first part focuses on explaining the theoretical concepts of the discipline, while the second part involves implementing problem-based learning (PBL) within The DEMATEL method involves a systematic process of analyzing the relationships between different factors or variables in a system. It aims to uncover the cause-and-effect chains and understand the influence and impact each factor has on others. By employing DEMATEL, decision-makers can gain insights into the interdependencies among factors and determine which components play a significant role in shaping the system's behaviour. This method facilitates a comprehensive evaluation of the relationships, allowing for a more informed decision-making process. This model provides a clear representation of the complex system, highlighting the critical components and their influence on other factors. By visualizing and understanding the cause-effect chains, decision-makers can make informed choices and develop effective strategies for system improvement.
