TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DOCTORSAAM: AN INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR FIRST AID IN 9TH GRADE HUMAN BIOLOGY

Sand Jourdain Jeduthun, Youmba Agape Love

Abstract


Due to the world’s gradual dependency on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the Cameroonian educational system's goal of digital integration, there is a clear need to train citizens for a globalized world. In Human Biology (SVTEEHB), an experimental discipline requiring simulations and visual aids, there is an increasing need for localized ICT resources. The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive technical specification document for DOCTORSAAM (Docteur en secourisme et accidents de l’appareil moteur), a tool designed to assist learners with first aid practices for motor system injuries. To fulfill these objectives, we followed the phases of the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). We began with a survey and data collection to detect pupils' specific needs, which were then translated into functional requirements. Following the elaboration of these specifications, the DOCTORSAAM tutorial was developed and tested on a sample of 25 pupils across four colleges in Yaoundé. Results convincingly affirm that DOCTORSAAM is an effective solution for ICT integration, with 80% of the lesson’s objectives fulfilled. Conclusively, the Cameroonian educational system can rely on these specifications to provide a teaching aid that facilitates the social and academic integration of young citizens.
