The Effect of the Aesthetically Mobile Interfaces on Students' Learning Experience for Primary Education

Mobile devices such as mobile phones are becoming more important to school students today. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mostly traditional face-to-face learning has shifted to online learning such as learning via a mobile platform. Mobile learning also known as m-learning, is defined as learning in numerous situations through social and content interaction utilizing personal electronic devices. M-learning applications not only need to have efficient functions, but it also has to attract students to learn by providing an attractive interface. An aesthetic of a mobile interface is essential since it could influence the user's learning experiences, but vice versa for non-aesthetic interfaces. User experience (UX) encompasses an extensive range of outcomes of the user-device interaction, including cognitions, attitudes, beliefs, behaviour, behavioural intentions, and affect. However, this study focuses on UX in terms of learnability, satisfaction, and efficiency since most previous studies were not explicitly focused on examining these three (3) UX components. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of aesthetically mobile interfaces on the learnability, satisfaction, and efficiency of primary school students, specifically, for Kelas Al-Quran and Fardu Ain (KAFA) students. This study found that aesthetically mobile interfaces significantly affected students' learning experiences regarding learnability, satisfaction, and efficiency. In conclusion, the findings of this study could serve as guidelines for future research in the field of mobile interface design.
