About this study

The objective of our research was to confirm the efficacy of an interactive app that facilitates parent-child collaboration during museum visits and to provide children with knowledge regarding the museum learning process. An application is utilized throughout the entire behavioral process of a museum visit; it serves as an auxiliary tool to facilitate the parent-child experience in the museum in a more targeted manner.

Primary outcomes

  1. FSS (Flow State Scale) score

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

    The Flow State Scale (FSS) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure the experience of flow, a state of deep immersion and focus in an activity, where time seems to disappear, and a person feels fully engaged and in control. Flow is often associated with peak performance in various domains, including sports, work, and creative activities.

    The FSS typically consists of a series of statements related to the nine dimensions of flow (Challenge-Skill Balance, Action-Awareness Merging, Clear Goals, Unambiguous Feedback, Concentration on the Task, Sense of Control, Loss of Self-Consciousness, Transformation of Time and Autotelic Experience).

    Respondents typically rate each statement on a Likert scale (e.g., from 1 to 5 or 1 to 7), indicating how much they agree or disagree with each statement as it applies to their experience. Higher scores on the FSS indicate a stronger experience of flow.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Post-game knowledge assessment

    Time frame: immediately after the procedure

    The Knowledge Test was designed to analyze educational efficiency by measuring the amount of knowledge remembered by participants. The test consisted of seven quiz questions about points of knowledge in the museum. In order to prevent children from visiting purposefully, the researcher designed two similar sets of test questions.
