In this paper, we investigate the effect of context on usability evaluation.\nThe focus is on how children behave and perform when they are tested in\ndifferent settings. Two most commonly applied usability evaluation methods: the\nthink-aloud and constructive interactions are applied to the children in\ndifferent physical contexts. We present an experimental design involving 54\nchildren participating in two different configurations of constructive\ninteraction and a traditional think-aloud. The behavior and performance of the\nchildren in two different physical contexts is measured by evaluating the\nresults of application of think-aloud and constructive interaction. Finally, we\noutline lessons on the impact of context on involving children in usability\ntesting.\n
