Challenges in Human-Computer Interaction on the Example of Photomath Mobile Application
Keywords:
Photomath Mobile Application, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), System Usability, Experiment-Photomath-Digital Mathemathics, Attitude of students, parents and teachersAbstract
The article presents a study of secondary school students' use of the Photomath mobile application, which was carried out as part of a "Photomath-Digital Mathematics" educational project (Telavi Public School N5, 8th grade; pandemic time, spring 2021). The article highlights the importance of human-computer interaction and its basic concepts, namely the usability of the Photomath app. The system was chosen as the main focus of the study. Instructions for installing Photomath on mobile devices as well as an analysis of the most important functions of the app are given. In addition, mathematical issues are also dealt with.
The phases of project design and implementation are also discussed in the article, with a focus on involving students, parents, and teachers in the project. The article demonstrates how to use the Photomath system to solve a mathematical problem, specifically how to solve two two-dimensional linear equations sequentially using the Photomath interface.
The paper also highlights the efficacy of using the Photomath mobile app for math instruction,
which was researched and validated as part of the project through the analysis of qualitative surveys (interviews with open-ended questions) conducted with students, parents, and teachers. Based on the results of quantitative and qualitative surveys of participants, significant conclusions were drawn about the approach to using the Photomath mobile application, both in terms of software and teaching methodology.
