How children search with an image based interface
نویسنده
چکیده
Most children use search interfaces that are designed for adults. This causes problems, since children’s development has not yet reached the adolescent level, and how children search information is still for the greater part unknown. This study investigates how children search with an image based interface. We did a study with children from two successive grades of a Dutch primary school (age 10-12) and gave them three tasks to complete while screen recordings were taken. We found a larger than expected difference in performance between the two grades. The quality and accuracy of the images in the interface is clearly important and of influence on the performance. Finally, we defined five searcher types to investigate the types of searching behaviour the children displayed. In the comparison of the searcher types between the two grades we can again see a clear difference.
