Improving the ability of designing and programming tutorial softwares by usingARCS model

We have been living in a fast computerization term which began in the mid 90s and now this computerization is everywhere in our lives. In this term in the field of education, various studies are made to get benefits from the computer technology, as well as in the other fields. However it is seen that the use of computers in the instructional activities cannot be regimented and desired yield cannot be obtained. The most important reasons for this inefficiency are the computer software which cannot catch the desired success in their fields. Especially in the last 15 years rapid development in the computer technology entered the schools so fast that the particular planning couldn’t be done. Computers, because of the software which are based on the traditional teaching methods - unlike the expected-, can be faced to get in danger of passivity. For this reason the designers of the tutorial software have to work more carefully and meticulously.In this context John Keller’s motivation theory –called The ARCS Model- offers some advice which should be taken into consideration about the computer-supported training software. The ARCS model is a problem solving approach to designing the motivational aspects of learning environments to stimulate and sustain students’ motivation to learn. ARCS is an abbreviation of (Attention), (Relevance), (Confidence) and (Satisfaction). The project aims the students of ICT field to know the ARCS motivation model, to understand the strategies of it, to apply the model in designing tutorial software, to design and program tutorial software based on ARCS Model, to improve their vocational skills and thus to make them wanted qualified employees in the world of work.
