Design and Implementation of Application for the Learning of Insect‘s Life Cycle in Elementary School

Since devices such as smart phones and smart pads have become popular and their use has expanded rapidly, several educational applications have been developed and can be used in those devices. However, only a few applications for biological science learning has been developed. The purpose of this study was to design and implement a smart phone application,‘the life cycle of insects’, as a study aid materials for exploratory learning of elementary students. The application developed in this study were used for science learning in classes of an elementary school and for usability evaluation of teachers. Results showed that the application increased interests the subjects of both students and teachers, suggesting valuable for learning science in the elementary school.
