Abstract
Today, given the importance of language education in the electronic environment, the design of updated educational content, especially for children, is of great significance. Therefore, the present study aims to provide a model for the evaluation and design of Arabic language teaching software for children based on Mayer's multimedia principles. In this research, educational software has been evaluated and analyzed according to Mayer's multimedia principles. To collect research data and carry out the evaluation, a researcher-developed checklist aligned with these principles has been utilized. Subsequently, a researcher-developed questionnaire has been extracted from this checklist, and the validity of both the checklist and the questionnaire has been confirmed by experts in the field. The findings indicate that the evaluated software does not meet the desirable standards based on Mayer's multimedia principles. Based on the evaluation framework and the results obtained, a model has been proposed for the development of content for Arabic language teaching software for young learners.
