| Abstract | A study that I have conducted on a sample of 395 children aged 6 to 12, from boththe urban and the rural environments, shows that an increasing number of themuse computer related technologies. Today there are an increasing number of websites that inform the user of different ways to save energy and to reduce energyconsumption because it is only natural that the modern information society would goonline to research such topics. The development of an educational application thatis focused on teaching the children about energy saving is represented on a timeline.We conducted a study in which a number of 29 children, aged between 8 and 10, usethis educational application and a questionnaire. We describe the methodology usedin the process of data gathering and then the results are interpreted. The state ofhappiness and fatigue of the child user has a great potential of influencing the way inwhich he or she uses the application, and implicitly it’s educational impact. Becausewe want to be able to reform these concepts, we will base our work on a series ofMarkov models and we will define some measures that are relevant to our goal. |
