q1 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' recommendation from the conclusions, based on their documentation phase finding that, unlike the USA (brainpop.com), Romania lacks an animation film database intended for Science learning. This is a stated recommendation, not a tested result.

"Consequently, we recommend the setup of several animated films in Romanian language for learning Sciences, not only for the primary education, but also for the other education cycles."
