| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 88 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of computer pointing devices. This study also considered the effects of gender, Eye-hand coordination and Input-device experience on human pointing and dragging movements. Thirty-five 2nd-grade pupils (16 boys and 19 girls, mean age = 96.5 months) served as subjects. Among them there were 31 subjects with mouse-experienced and 4 subjects without computer-experienced. The participants were required to perform pointing and dragging tasks using five different pointing devices. Three types of data were recorded：movement time, error frequency and offsets. The major results of the experiment are as follows. Target size, distance and movement direction had significant effects on the performance of pointing devices. But gender made no difference on the performance of pointing devices. Direct address devices were quicker but less accurate than indirect ones. The mouse was children’s favorite device and was suitable for children’s use.
