Abstract

To address the challenges of abstract cognitive processes, low participation, and difficulty in solidifying behaviors in current waste sorting education for children, this study conducts an interactive design research project on waste sorting education for preschool children, based on sustainable design principles. Initial needs information was obtained through questionnaires, user interviews, and behavioral observation. The Key-J method was used to summarize and integrate this information, extracting core needs. Based on this, a sustainable-oriented interactive design framework for children’s waste sorting education was constructed, incorporating contextual guidance, sensory interaction, immediate incentives, and behavioral reinforcement mechanisms. The research shows that this design effectively enhances children’s learning interest and sustained participation, promoting the transformation of waste sorting knowledge into stable environmentally friendly behaviors, and providing practical reference for the application of sustainable design principles in children’s education and interactive art.
