Resumo: Young children have become keen users of mobile digital devices. The “hAPPy kids” project mapped the views of different stakeholders - parents, children and industry - on the characteristics of “good” apps - that is, safe and beneficial for the development of children - and on the criteria for selecting and developing them. This article presents the perceptions of industry stakeholders such as digital content developers and broadcasters, policy-makers, and experts from the fields of Education and Psychology, gathered from 17 interviews with a purposive sample. They are aware of the demands of parents - learning and safety - and of children - fun and entertainment. They try to address both, and also value technical aspects of user experience.

O projeto “hAPPy kids” mapeia as visões de diferentes stakeholders - pais, crianças e indústria - sobre as características de “boas” apps - ou seja, seguras e benéficas para o desenvolvimento das crianças - e sobre os critérios que usam para as selecionar e desenvolver. Este artigo apresenta as percepções dos stakeholders da indústria tais como criadores e difusores de conteúdos digitais, reguladores, e peritos nas áreas da Educação e da Psicologia, recolhidas através de 17 entrevistas a uma amostra intencional. Eles estão conscientes das exigências dos pais - aprendizagem e segurança - mas também das preferências das crianças - diversão e entretenimento. Tentam conciliar ambas, preocupando-se também com os aspetos técnicos da user experience.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaDias, Patrícia2022-12-07T10:17:38Z2022-03-282022-03-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/39492eng1646-595410.15847/obsobs1612022169185142773299info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-23T01:42:59Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/39492Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:32:19.606776Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
