“…Some considered participatory design as the overall research area and co-design as the method [ 56 , 60 , 77 , 82 ]. Others positioned the 2 as separate methods [ 62 , 66 ], while others used terms interchangeably [ 75 , 85 ]. The most common definition of “participatory design” was to “involve end users in the design process” [ 45 , 48 , 68 , 72 , 86 ], which some interpreted strongly because end users fully and equally participated throughout the whole design and development process [ 68 , 70 ], while others read it weakly as “invit[ing] users to contribute ideas” [ 71 ].…”

“…Regardless, both were reported as affording a positive experience to end users [ 58 , 68 , 80 ], for example, by giving every participant some hands-on experience [ 45 ]. Hands-on experience affected both agencies, in which hands-on experience was a method to assess games with users and understand outcomes [ 65 , 66 ], and learning, in which hands-on experience served as a method of learning technology or understanding the context [ 28 , 45 , 59 ]. The prepared templates were repeatedly mentioned to facilitate prototyping [ 63 , 86 ].…”

“…Some suggested that CYP struggled to express themselves speaking while at the same time preferred speaking to writing [ 45 , 47 ]. In comparison, visual approaches and working with visual aids proved more engaging and effective, especially in younger age groups, potentially owing to their less-developed reading and writing abilities [ 49 , 50 , 62 , 66 ]. An exception to the method of media was seen in the studies by Metatla et al [ 67 ] and Regal et al [ 75 ] with visually impaired children, in which educational robot toys and physical building blocks were used to facilitate creativity through touch and sound.…”

Children and Young People’s Involvement in Designing Applied Games: Scoping Review

Background User involvement is widely accepted as key for designing effective applied games for health. This especially holds true for children and young people as target audiences, whose abilities, needs, and preferences can diverge substantially from those of adult designers and players. Nevertheless, there is little shared knowledge about how concretely children and young people have been involved in the design of applied games, let alone consensus guidance on how to do so effectively. Objective The aim of this scoping review was to describe which user involvement methods have been used in the design of applied games with children and young people, how these methods were implemented, and in what roles children and young people were involved as well as what factors affected their involvement. Methods We conducted a systematic literature search and selection across the ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using State of the Art through Systematic Review software for screening, selection, and data extraction. We then conducted a qualitative content analysis on the extracted data using NVivo. Results We retrieved 1085 records, of which 47 (4.33%) met the eligibility criteria. The chief involvement methods were participatory design (20/47, 43%) and co-design (16/47, 37%), spanning a wide range of 45 concrete activities with paper prototyping, group discussions, and playtesting being the most frequent. In only half of the studies (24/47, 51%), children and young people participated as true design partners. Our qualitative content analysis suggested 5 factors that affect their successful involvement: comprehension, cohesion, confidence, accessibility, and time constraints. Conclusions Co-design, participatory design, and similar high-level labels that are currently used in the field gloss over very uneven degrees of participation in design and a wide variety of implementations that greatly affect actual user involvement. This field would benefit from more careful consideration and documentation of the reason of user involvement. Future research should explore concrete activities and configurations that can address the common challenges of involving children and young people, such as comprehension, cohesion, confidence, and accessibility.

Inspired by the Maker Movement and attempts of integrating Making into formal education of children, we have examined how practice-oriented the research on Making and education is in Child-Computer Interaction field. Our results show that despite the growing interest practice-orientation is still weak. Making efforts rarely aim for longitudinal durable patterns and practices even though practice-driven research has started to gain prominence in the whole Human-Computer Interaction field. General ideas of what Making integrated with education can be and should be seem to be well shared among practitioners, however. We demonstrate what aspects should be considered when doing practiceoriented Making research and point out gaps in our current understanding of the practice. We also provide guidelines for how to study Making in order to develop sustainable practices.
