Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• FSS (Flow State Scale) score

  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.

Museum Talking

EXPERIMENTAL

This application is utilized throughout the entire behavioral process of a museum visit; it serves as an auxiliary tool to facilitate the parent-child groups' experience in the museum in a more targeted manner. The players will experience the historical narrative, Breakout Q\&A,and the production game in collaboration with parents. Players can earn between 0 and 3 stars in the game, contingent on the frequency of accurate responses.While the breakout mechanism is mainly triggered by children's external motivation, the design parts of the internal motivation are mainly triggered by parental involvement, including the APP hints, and the model kitchen game. During the first two levels of answering questions, parents get some hints through the APP. In the third level of the simulated kitchen, parents get detailed cooking recipes through the APP so that children can finish it with the help of their parents. The simulated kitchen is a real space containing plastic cookware and ing

Model Details: In terms of user motivation, the gamified design model for museums aims to engage and satisfy both parents and children by tapping into their intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. The goal is to enhance their involvement and enjoyment. The model emphasizes social interaction and curiosity, offering opportunities for enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment through interactions with parents and peers. By incorporating game-like challenges, the model caters to children\'s natural inclination for exploration, igniting their curiosity and thus increasing their interest and engagement with the museum.
