Exploring Verbalization and Collaboration during Usability Evaluation with Children in Context
In this paper, we investigate the effect of context on usability
evaluation. The focus is on how children behave and perform
when they are tested in different settings. Two most commonly
applied usability evaluation methods: the think-aloud and
constructive interactions are applied to the children in different
physical contexts. We present an experimental design involving
54 children participating in two different configurations of
constructive interaction and a traditional think-aloud. The
behavior and performance of the children in two different
physical contexts is measured by evaluating the results of
application of think-aloud and constructive interaction. Finally,
we outline lessons on the impact of context on involving children
in usability testing.
Keywords: usability evaluation, children, physical context, think-aloud, constructive interaction.
