Eliciting and Describing Users’ Models

8th Apr. 2003

The topic of this thesis is users’ models: the representations users may form of the computer system which they are interacting with. It has been proposed that user interfaces which support the construction of appropriate users’ models facilitate learning and use of computer systems. Users’ models have been a topic of research in human-computer interaction (HCI) since 1984, but to date, no knowledge exists which could be applied by designers of computer systems. The aim of the thesis is to address this problem and contribute to the development of an integrated and applicable body of knowledge on users’ models.
