这项研究首次系统地调查了针对 0-5 岁儿童的应用程序在多大程度上促进了游戏和创造力。越来越多的证据表明儿童使用平板电脑，但对该年龄段儿童使用应用程序的了解有限。这项由 ESRC 资助的研究进行了研究，确定了 0 至 5 岁的英国儿童如何使用应用程序，以及考虑到应用程序对学习和发展的重要性，使用应用程序可以在多大程度上促进游戏和创造力。对英国 2000 名 5 岁以下儿童的家长进行了一项调查，采用随机分层样本，并对 6 个家庭的儿童进行了民族志案例研究。对儿童使用应用程序的超过 17 小时的视频进行了分析。调查结果表明，这个年龄段的孩子正在使用各种应用程序，其中一些应用程序并不针对他们的年龄段。此类应用程序的设计特征可能会导致对游戏和创造力的支持或抑制。这项研究对该领域做出了原创性贡献，因为它阐述了应用程序如何促进五岁及以下儿童的玩耍和创造力。
This study is the first to systematically investigate the extent to which apps for children aged 0-5 foster play and creativity. There is growing evidence of children's use of tablets, but limited knowledge of the use of apps by children of children of this age. This ESRC-funded study undertook research that identified how UK children aged from 0 to 5 use apps, and how far the use of apps promotes play and creativity, given the importance of these for learning and development. A survey was conducted with 2000 parents of under 5s in the UK, using a random, stratified sample, and ethnographic case studies of children in six families were undertaken. Over 17 hours of video films of children using apps were analysed. Findings indicate that children of this age are using a variety of apps, some of which are not aimed at their age range. The design features of such apps can lead to the support or inhibition of play and creativity. The study makes an original contribution to the field in that it offers an account of how apps contribute to the play and creativity of children aged five and under.
