摘要
This study involved eleven seventh-grade children in designing interfaces for Web search engines that meet their needs. Using a participatory approach, children drew interfaces and articulated their purposes. The layouts of these interfaces varied, but the features/capabilities described in them were similar. These were: keyword searching with instructions; natural language/phrase with instructions; subject categories (minimal to extensive), links to advanced search engines that are designed for adult users (Yahoo, Altavista, Askjeeves, and Google), and help. Minimal color was used in these interfaces; however, children expressed the need for color in writing.
