Redrawing Short UEQ evaluation method for engaging children

Children increasingly engage with digital tools, necessitating UX evaluation methods suited to their cognitive abilities. This study redesigns the Short User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ-S) to make it more accessible for young users. The new version integrates illustrations, contextualized items, explanatory text, and a sans-serif font to enhance comprehension and engagement. In particular, illustrations are used as a key element to clarify concepts and make the questionnaire more engaging for children. Following a research through design approach, the structure of the validated UEQ-S is maintained while adapting it to children's needs. Although promising, the redesigned tool requires further testing to assess its effectiveness in realworld applications.
