Abstract

The doctoral thesis of Tatiana Gossen formulates criteria and guidelines on how to design the user interfaces of search engines for children. In her work, the author identifies the conceptual challenges based on own and previous user studies and addresses the changing characteristics of the users by providing a means of adaptation. Additionally, a novel type of search result visualisation for children with cartoon style characters is developed taking children's preference for visual information into account.

Abstract

Um Kinder bei der Informationssuche angemessen unterstützen zu können, muss ihr Entwicklungsstand - und die damit verbundenen speziellen Bedürfnisse und Fähigkeiten - beim Design von Informationssystemen berücksichtigt werden. Existierende Systeme sind meist speziell für die Zielgruppe erwachsener Nutzer konzipiert und berücksichtigen somit nicht die besonderen Bedürfnisse der stark wachsenden Gruppe junger Nutzer, die heutzutage immer früher mit Informationssystemen in Kontakt kommt. In diesem Artikel fassen wir die Ergebnisse aktueller Arbeiten und Studien im Bereich der Informationssuche von jungen Nutzern zusammen. Anschießend leiten wir Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung von kinderfreundlichen Informationssystemen, u. a. basierend auf eigenen Arbeiten, ab.

Abstract

In this paper, we present the state of the art in the field of information retrieval that is relevant for understanding how to design information retrieval systems for children. We describe basic theories of human development to explain the specifics of young users, i.e., their cognitive skills, fine motor skills, knowledge, memory and emotional states in so far as they differ from those of adults. We derive the implications these differences have on the design of information retrieval systems for children. Furthermore, we summarize the main findings about children's search behavior from multiple user studies. These findings are important to understand children's information needs, their search strategies and usage of information retrieval systems. We also identify several weaknesses of previous user studies about children's information-seeking behavior. Guided by the findings of these user studies, we describe challenges for the design of information retrieval systems for young users. We give an overview of algorithms and user interface concepts. We also describe existing information retrieval systems for children, in specific web search engines and digital libraries. We conclude with a discussion of open issues and directions for further research. The survey provided in this paper is important both for designers of information retrieval systems for young users as well as for researchers who start working in this field.
