4. IB: Cognitive approaches
History
• Taylor (1968) : 使用者沒有完整的世界圖像，即對資訊的需求、
意義與價值乃立基於個人的認知觀點。
• Dervin ＆ Nilan (1986) 鼓吹並揚棄系統取向
何謂認知
• Belkin: 人類(或資訊處理機制)在接受/感知或生產時，如何運
作(或互動)知識、信念、等等
• Scope (Pettigrew, et.al., 2001)
• 關於個人如何應用他自我世界的觀點或模型，處理資訊的需求、
搜尋、給出、與使用的研究

5. IB: Social approaches
History
• 從1990年代初期慢慢興起，並變得越來越重要
• Chatman (80s-) 開始研究貧窮勞工階級的資訊行為
何謂社會取向
• 資訊的意義與價值，與其社會脈絡相關
• 偏向以自然探究, 人類學或社會學的方法進行研究

6. IB: Multifaceted (Multidimensional) approaches
• 由於了解到人類資訊行為的複雜性，越來越多研究者認為需
要以多元觀點進行研究，而非只考慮認知的與社會的一種觀
點
• Rosenbaum **
• Johnson *
• Bystrom & Jarvelm *
• Sonnenwald **
• Leckie et al. *
• Cognitive Work Analysis, CWA **

7. 認知工作分析: Cognitive Work Analysis
• 認知工作分析 (CWA)是由 Rasmussen, Pejtersen, Goodstein
(1994)所共同發展出來的一種研究概念架構
1969成立
為了實現尼爾斯·波耳的和平
使用核能的理想

10. Cognitive Work Analysis
• 認知工作分析實際上與認知科學並沒有直接關係，根據
Rasmussen(1994)，其理論依據來自於：
• 系統化思維(General System Thinking)
• 適應控制系統(Adaptive Control Systems)
• Gibson的環境心理學(Ecological Psychology)
• 重點：限制(constraint) 與 適應(adaptive)
• CWA 認為，在與工作相關的活動中進行資訊互動的人，是一
行動者/演員(actor) ，而非一般資訊系統所稱的使用者(user)

analysis
CWA 認為，在與工作相關的活動中進行資
訊互動的人，是一「行動者/演員(actor)」，
而非一般資訊系統所稱的「使用者(user)」
理論基礎是：
系統化思維(general system thinking)
適應控制系統(adaptive control
systems)
Gibson的環境心理學(Ecological
Psychology)；
以及各種不同工作領域中支援系統開發
的實地研究。

24. Cognitive Work Analysis: 決策階梯
Decision Ladder
決策階梯三階段：
• 狀況分析
Situation analysis
• 評估
Evaluation
• 計劃
Planning

25. Research: Collaborative information retrieval
Case: Microsoft Design Team:
• a single case of making navigation function design. (Help
and Support Center, HSC)
Data collecting method
• naturalistic field study: interview, observation, content
analysis (email, documents)

27. Microsoft HSC Design Team: Environments
• Microsoft Corporation
• Products & Projects: Help & Support Center
• Project division:

fit user behavior and user preferences

• Drawback-of-CIR:

33. Challenges to the CIR process
Actors 對行為者而言，CIR的挑戰是：
• 需要花時間討論
Spend time in discussions
• 不同行為者，在CIR過程中有不同的立場。
Difference actors have different stakes in the process, or have different priorities
• CIR中成員的理解不同
The understanding of problems might various
• 新手需邀請專家參與
Notice involve other expert actors
• 討論或協作中會發生資訊過載
Information overload

34. Discussion
Multiple dimensions
Such interdependencies suggest that focusing on a single
dimension may not only provide a partial understanding, but
might also be misleading.
