Impact effect of using computer graphics animation in education

Abstract

Animation development has changed over time, and usage context illustrates phenomena and concepts that are difficult to understand. Animations may not always be useful; however, teachers who use animations need to understand their importance of them. This paper focused on illustrating the potential applications of animations in learning and education. Animation, a form of pictorial presentation, has become the most prominent feature of technology-based learning environments. Educational computer animation has become one of the most elegant tools for presenting multimedia materials for learners, and its significance in helping to understand and remember information has greatly increased since the advent of powerful graphics-oriented computers. This study used data analysis processing to analyze the frequency of responses to each question from the collected survey data. All interviews were transcribed for qualitative analysis of in-depth interview data. This research aims to investigate whether animation aids learners' understanding of dynamic phenomena and has come up with positive, negative, and neutral results.
