“LITTLE SECRET” APP DESIGN: A CONSULTATION AND SUPPORT TOOL FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

Developing children’s emotional regulation skills is one of the essential components of primary school counseling and support. The most crucial step in doing this is recognizing their feelings so that supportive actions can be suggested to assist them in controlling their negative emotions and keeping their positive emotions in check. The “Little Secret” app is a practical and helpful tool that teachers may utilize to recognize the feelings of their pupils, engage with them to inspire and motivate them, and locate timely counseling and support resources for them. The theme is investigating scientific foundations, suggesting the procedure and design of the “Little Secret” app for primary school student support and counseling. The project also conducted a trial to assess the app’s features, necessity, viability, and efficacy.
