“…In conclusion, they found that the software was positively evaluated by the participating teachers for its technical elements and pedagogical value. A larger scale study was conducted in Italy with 22 different Edu S/Ws, which are widely used in Europe [16]. The study was focused on teachers and found that the majority of them were not able to evaluate the systems, but from the rest of them, they rated the educational systems highly.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of educational software characteristics on software performance through the mediating role of user acceptance. Our approach allows for a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of educational software by bridging the fields of educational technology, psychology, and human–computer interaction, offering a holistic perspective on software adoption and performance. This study is based on a sample collected from public and private education institutes in Northern Greece and on data obtained from 236 users. The statistical method employed is structural equation models (SEMs), via SPSS—AMOS estimation. The findings of this study suggest that user acceptance and performance appraisal are exceptionally interrelated in regard to educational applications. The study argues that user acceptance is positively related to the performance of educational software and constitutes the nested epicenter mediating construct in the educational software characteristics. Additional findings, such as computer-familiar users and users from the field of choral music, are positively related to the performance of the educational software. Our conclusions help in understanding the psychological and behavioral aspects of technology adoption in the educational setting. Findings are discussed in terms of their practical usefulness in education and further research.

utilizing Prezi applications on biography text material. The research technique is the research and development approach that employs the DDD-E model (Decide, Design, Develop, and Evaluate). The primary outcome of this research is Indonesian language learning media created with the Prezi application. The quality of Indonesian language learning media utilizing the Prezi application is extremely feasible based on the product development process, which includes product validation by experts (material expert, media expert, and practitioner expert validations). Students from SMAN 5 Bandar Lampung were the research subjects. The researchers also performed a small-scale trial with ten randomly chosen students and a large-scale trial with thirty students. The product feasibility test at SMAN 5 Bandar Lampung yielded a feasibility score of 92.83% (very feasible). The developed media is likely appropriate for use in the learning process. This research, however, was only limited to the development stage. It is envisaged that this media will be tested for effectiveness.

The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in school children can be prevented by providing nutrition education to improve their nutrition knowledge. PowerPoint media and online games have improved learning outcomes and increased interest and motivation during online education. This study aimed to analyze the effect of online nutritional education using PowerPoint media, with and without Wordwall Game, on nutritional knowledge among overweight and obese elementary school-aged children in Palembang, from March 6th to 15th, 2023. It followed a quasi-experimental design, using a nonequivalent control group model, and measured pre and post-intervention data. The study utilized a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a total of 108 overweight and obese students aged 10-12, with 54 subjects in each group. Nutritional knowledge data were obtained through structured questionnaires previously tested for validity and reliability. The results of the independent t-test showed a significant difference in the mean scores of nutrition knowledge, with better results observed in the experimental group (p= ≤0.001). This indicates that providing online nutrition education through Wordwall Games and PowerPoint media is more effective in improving six aspects of nutritional knowledge in elementary school children than those who only use PowerPoint slides.
