Abstract

The current research aims to reveal the effectiveness of designing an interactive personalized learning environment according to two cues styles in a personalized learning environment for developing database design skills for libraries among educational technology students. The experimental design relied on two experimental groups, incorporating two independent variables: the written hint style and the color hint style within the personalized learning environment, along with two dependent variables: cognitive achievement and performance aspects of database design skills for libraries using Access. The research tools included an achievement test and a skills performance evaluation card. The sample consisted of 80 male and female students, divided equally into two groups based on hint styles. Arithmetic means, Levene's test, and the t-test were used to test the research hypotheses. The results indicated that the hints provided, regardless of their type, led to an equal development of cognitive achievement for both groups, showing no significant difference between the hint styles in enhancing achievement. However, the current research demonstrated that students receiving written hints performed better than those receiving color hints in developing their database design skills.
