Empirical Study and Evaluation Index System Construction of Children’s Digital Reading App

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the classic theory of the D&M model and integrating relevant domestic and foreign research, the paper constructs evaluation indicators for children’s digital reading Apps, including 5 dimensions with 21 secondary indicators. The expert evaluation method and analytic hierarchy process were used to determine the weight ratio of each index. Finally, 42 volunteers were invited to evaluate the experience of three children’s digital reading Apps, namely, Himalayan Children, Howling, and Uncle Kai’s Storytelling. The empirical evaluation results show that the overall level of the three Apps is high, and users are relatively satisfied with them. The scores of each primary and secondary indicator are basically consistent with the actual situation of each App, indicating that the evaluation index system is feasible and reasonable.

Key words: Digital reading App, Evaluation index system, Empirical analysis, Children
