Call for Participation

Teenagers are a unique but little studied user group for Interaction Design. Current literature on methodologies for research with children predominantly focuses on work with younger age groups providing a gap between this and research with adults. The aim of this workshop is to bring together novel methods that have been created for research with teenagers, refine and develop these methods, create new methods, and look for collaborations to grow the literature in this area.

Workshop Submissions

We are inviting contributions in the following areas:

• Explorations and evaluations of adaptions made to methods that are designed for children or adults
• New methods that have been tried out and tested with teenage participants
• Methods for engaging with teenagers in away from school contexts
• Studies and cases where research with teenagers has thrown new insights into how best to work with this group
