Improving children's self-report in user-centered evaluations

Published: 09 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

The envisaged contribution of the research presented in this paper is to improve users' self-report, a popular way to assess user experiences. The starting point of the research is an assessment of the previously presented Sensual Evaluation Instrument objects when used by children. Our assessment is set in a naturalistic setting, i.e. a primary school in southern Switzerland. Should the assessment be positive, we plan to explore further ways of using physical objects to support self-report. This should result in establishing a more robust version of self-report from children, which up to now suffers from being dependent on facilitators and requiring children to possess high levels of reflection and linguistic skills.
