Evaluation of the new outdoor study scheme using mobile phone based on the zeigarnik effect

Abstract

Many devices using ICT seem to bring students much information. They look up a lot of information and feel as if they already know the places or things using their PC. However, it is not all of the objects or is much for students to select high quality ones. Some cannot find interesting points among too much information. On the other hands, human beings take an interest in uncompleted or interrupted tasks. Using this human disposition, we create new application for outdoor studying in order to make some remarkable points using the Zeigarnik Effect. A little lack of information becomes a trigger to their interesting study. According to the effective results of our trials, we put it to practical use. In addition, we verified the safety mobile phone’s usage during walking by EEG measurement for practical application.
