Teaching computing in K-12 is typically accomplished by teaching programming through practical activities in which students create software artifacts such as mobile applications. This approach, however, may not cover other important competencies such as user interface design, which are essential for software development. Within this context, this article presents the development, application and evaluation of an instructional unit that incorporates the teaching of UI design competencies into computing education. The instructional unit was developed in a systematic way following an instructional design process, and applied and evaluated in a Brazilian public middle school. First results indicate it can have a positive impact on motivation, user experience, and learning as well as empower students to become active creators of IT products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
