Abstract |
|
|
| This study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a program based on electronic interactive activities in developing the tourism awareness of kindergarten children. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive approach and the quasi-experimental approach were used, on a random sample of (62) boys and girls from the kindergarten stage, they were divided into (32) children for the experimental sample and (30) children for the control sample, all from the Eastern Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The researchers designed several tools that included a list of the most important concepts of tourism awareness appropriate for a kindergarten child, prepared a program based on electronic interactive activities, and presented it to the children to develop tourism awareness concepts. An electronic scale was used to measure tourism awareness in children in the study sample before and after the application of the program. After validating the psychometric properties of the tools, the pre-test for tourism awareness was performed, then the program was applied to the experimental sample, and finally the post-test was performed. Data was statistically analyzed using the SPSS program to calculate the significance of the differences between the mean scores of the experimental sample and the control sample (T -test) and measuring the effectiveness of the program by calculating Plaque’s Gain Ratio. The results showed the effectiveness of the program based on electronic interactive activities in developing tourism awareness in kindergarten children .Considering the results of the study, the researchers recommend expanding the integration of electronic interactive programs into the kindergarten curricula to develop the kindergarten child’s tourism awareness and prepare them for the future.
