LITERATURE SURVER & REVIEW
 LITERATURE SURVER & REVIEW
In the realm of educational technology, the design and application of software have emerged as
powerful tools for enhancing teaching and learning experiences in the classroom. One such
study, titled "The Design and Application of Software: Promoting deep-level reading in the Web-
based Classroom in Chinese Primary School," conducted by Zhong Sun and Xianmin Yang,
explores the use of software to promote deep-level reading skills among primary school students
in China. While the study addresses the important aspect of improving reading ability through
features such as highlighting, comments, and sharing, it falls short in addressing broader issues
related to enhancing learning ability, thinking skills, and creativity among students, particularly
those in the early stages of education.

The study conducted by Sun and Yang focuses primarily on improving reading ability among
primary school students through the use of web-based software. The software provides various
features aimed at facilitating deep-level reading, including the ability to highlight text, add
comments, and share annotations with peers. While these features are undoubtedly valuable for
promoting reading comprehension and engagement, the study fails to address the broader needs
of students, particularly in terms of developing critical thinking skills and fostering creativity.

One of the key drawbacks of the study is its narrow focus on reading ability to the exclusion of
other important aspects of learning. While reading skills are undoubtedly crucial for academic
success, they represent just one facet of a comprehensive education. Research has shown that
students benefit from a holistic approach to learning that encompasses not only reading but also
critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative expression. By solely emphasizing reading
ability, the study overlooks the broader goals of education and misses an opportunity to address
the multifaceted needs of students.

Furthermore, the study does not adequately address the unique characteristics and developmental
needs of primary school students. Students in this age group are in a critical stage of cognitive
and social development, where their ability to think critically, solve problems, and express
themselves creatively is rapidly evolving. However, the study fails to consider how the design
and application of software can be tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of young
learners. Instead, it adopts a one-size-fits-all approach that may not effectively engage or
motivate students in the primary school setting.
To address these limitations, future research should take a more holistic approach to educational
technology design and application. This approach should consider not only the development of
reading skills but also the promotion of critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity among
students. Additionally, researchers should pay closer attention to the unique needs and
characteristics of primary school students, ensuring that software applications are engaging, age-
appropriate, and aligned with the curriculum objectives. By taking these factors into account,
educators and researchers can maximize the potential of educational technology to enhance
teaching and learning experiences in primary schools.
