چکیده
هدف: رنگ یکی از مهم ترین عناصر هر رابط کاربری است و نقش مهمی در طراحی رابط کاربری دارد. از این رو، برای ارتباط و تعامل با کاربران در وب سایت ها استفاده می شوند. هدف از پژوهش حاضر، تحلیل کاربرد رنگ در طراحی رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی با رویکرد مبتنی بر فراترکیب است.روش شناسی: پژوهش حاضر، با رویکرد کیفی و با روش فراترکیب انجام شده است. به منظور گردآوری داده ها در این پژوهش از الگوی هفت مرحله ای سندلوسکی و باروسو استفاده شد. جامعه آماری پژوهش حاضر مقالات و پایان نامه های مرتبط با رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی است که در فارسی بازه زمانی سال های 1390-1402 و در لاتین سال های 1984-2023 از پایگاه های علمی داخلی و بین المللی استخراج شده است. در نهایت از بین 148 مقاله و پایان نامه بازیابی شده، 27 عنوان انتخاب و تحلیل شد؛ و سپس براساس تحلیل محتوای موضوعی پژوهش ها، کدگذاری و مقوله بندی صورت گرفت.یافته ها: تجزیه و تحلیل پژوهش های حوزه رنگ در طراحی رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی که به شناسایی 3 مقوله کلی، 18 مؤلفه در این حوزه انجامید. مقولات اصلی در این حوزه شامل زمینه های کاربرد رنگ در طراحی رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی، کاربرد رنگ در طراحی رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی و کاربرد رنگ در پوشش دامنه موضوعی در طراحی رابط کاربری وب سایت های آموزشی است.نتیجه گیری: نتایج ثابتی از بررسی رنگ در طراحی رابط کاربر در تمامی وب سایت ها دیده نمی شود. بدین جهت، در قسمت بافت، پژوهشگران توجه خود را معطوف به وب سایت های تجاری، خبری، سرگرمی گذاشته اند که این خود خلأ پژوهشی است که توجه کمتری به مبحث آموزش شده است. در بخش کاربردهای رنگ پژوهشگران به مبحث جذابیت و زیبایی وب سایت، کمک بر برآورده شدن نیازهای کاربران توسط طراحان، جذابیت وب سایت و فرایندهای شناختی کاربران، فرهنگ و درک کاربران از وب سایت، تأثیرگذاری رنگ بر ویژگی های فرهنگی توجه نشان داده اند.A Meta-Synthesis of Color Application in User Interface Design for Educational Websites
Introduction: Color is widely regarded as a fundamental component in user interface design, serving as a critical tool for communication and user engagement in websites. Recent advancements in technology have further accelerated the growth of digital education, enabling learners to access a diverse array of services through numerous online platforms, effectively addressing the needs of both students and academics. A thorough exploration of color as a key visual element in user interface design—and its relationship with education—can significantly assist designers in achieving their objectives during the design process. Designing a webpage requires a deep understanding of the target audience's characteristics, emphasizing the importance of employing visually appropriate elements that enhance user comprehension and recognition. This study aims to examine the background, components, and applications of color as a design element in educational website user interfaces. By conducting a comprehensive investigation into existing research on the integration of color within the user interface design of educational websites, this study seeks to offer valuable insights to both scholars and practitioners in the field. The primary objective is to analyze the role of color in educational website user interface design using a meta-synthesis approach.Methodology: This study utilized a qualitative meta-synthesis approach for data collection, following the seven-stage model proposed by Sandelowski and Barroso (2007). This method involves a systematic review process comprising the following stages: formulation of research questions, systematic literature review, identification and selection of relevant sources, data extraction, analysis and synthesis of findings, quality assessment, and presentation of results. The statistical population included articles and theses focused on the user interface of educational websites. Persian-language documents were selected from the years 1390 to 1402 (Hijri Shamsi calendar), while English-language documents spanned the period from 1984 to 2023. These materials were retrieved from reputable scientific databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, Ganj, Magiran, Noormagz, Elmnet, and Civilica. The study employed specialized keywords relevant to the field, and EndNote software was used to systematically organize the retrieved articles. The researcher conducted a comprehensive review of the studies, removing duplicate entries and categorizing them based on their relevance to the research question. This process involved applying predetermined inclusion criteria and conducting a qualitative assessment of the texts. Initially, bibliographic information, including the title, author, year, topic, and abstract, was entered into EndNote. A thorough review of the titles was then performed to exclude irrelevant works. Out of an initial pool of 184 articles and theses, 27 were selected for in-depth analysis. Thematic content analysis was subsequently employed to code and categorize the findings. Data from each selected article, including the title, author(s), publication year, and research findings, were systematically classified. Codes were then extracted from the articles to facilitate the synthesis and interpretation of the data.Findings: A review of scientific studies reveals that most research on the use of color in website user interface design has employed experimental, survey-based, systematic, or qualitative methodologies, with questionnaires serving as the predominant data collection tool. An analysis of the literature on color application in the user interfaces of educational websites identified three primary thematic categories and eighteen constituent elements. The main thematic categories were as follows: The Contextualization of Color Implementation: Exploring the integration of color within the user interface design of educational websites; The Application of Color Principles: Investigating the use of color principles in the design of user interfaces for educational websites; The Comprehensive Exploration of Color’s Role: Examining the overall impact of color in the user interface design of educational websites. These categories encompassed concepts such as the application of color across various types of websites, the influence of color on user behavior and perception, and the effect of color on user engagement and the visual appeal of websites. Discussion & conclusion: Color is widely recognized as a powerful and influential element in website design, often regarded as one of its most critical aspects. As such, the selection of a website's color palette requires considerable time and research. Colors have the capacity to evoke emotional responses in users, thereby encouraging prolonged engagement with a site. Each color uniquely influences user perception and behavior, and understanding these potential reactions enables designers to effectively convey messages and guide users toward desired actions. The design of user interfaces for educational websites is a fundamental resource for a global audience. By employing appropriate and aesthetically pleasing design principles, these platforms can play a vital role in helping individuals acquire new skills, expand their knowledge, and achieve educational qualifications. To best serve their users, educational websites must adhere to specific practical design considerations. The study revealed that consistent findings regarding the role of color in user interface design are not universally observed across all websites. Consequently, the contextual analysis within the research emphasized areas such as commercial, news, and entertainment websites, which are less frequently explored in relation to this topic. In examining the applications of color, researchers have highlighted its influence on website attractiveness and aesthetic appeal, emphasizing its importance in enhancing the user experience. Studies have also explored the role of color in addressing user needs as perceived by designers, its impact on cognitive processing, its cultural interpretations, and the relationship between color and cultural attention.
