“…These changes indicate that the implementation of a new technology should be considered with changes in the already existing technological, pedagogical and organisational context. As Fang and Salvendy (2001) emphasised, whenever any new information technology emerges, professionals should be called to deal with it as a tool for redesign of the learning, working, and training situation (see also Salas and Cannon-Bowers 2001). This study also demonstrates how novice users of mobile technology sometimes feel intimidated by a new device because of their unfamiliarity and the fear of making a mistake (Cuban 1988).…”

This case study explores how educational training and clinical practice that uses personal computers (PCs) and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) to access Internet-based medical information, affects the engagement modes of students, flow experience components, and IT-competence. A questionnaire assessing these variables was administered before and after a training course. A follow-up interview investigated the contextual factors related to the use of PDAs. There were significant increases in IT-competence and in the positive and negative modes of engagement except for the Ambition/ Curiosity mode. The overall flow experience did not change significantly over time. The PDA users showed an increase in negative modes across time larger than PC users due to technical, emotional, and motivational factors. This study concludes that a student's interaction with PCs and, in particular, PDAs produces positive and negative engagement modes and flow experiences that can be better understood by using the Engagement Modes model (EM-model).

“…The study results support this belief however, the full effect of the change on the individual depended on the problem-solving strategy used. As an example, Fang & Salvendy (2001) Gielo- Perczak & Karwowski (2003) propose that previous cognitive science has been somewhat "Cartesian" in its development of the distinction between the mental and physical. Gielo-Perczak & Karwowski go on to state "that minds are not architectural modular structures that deal in information, but are constituted by the dynamic interactions of perceiver and percept, knower, and that which is to be known."…”

introduced and instructed me in research methods associated with the social sciences, as well as granting me access to departmental laboratory facilities.This dissertation research would not have been possible without the corporate participation of W. M. Kelley Company, Inc. of New Albany, Indiana and Advanced Production Systems, Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky. I wish to thank the management and employees of both companies for their willingness to participate in this research.A very special word of thanks goes to Dr. Hanne Albrechtsen and the collaborative relationship that she fostered between the Ris∅ National Laboratory, Roskilde, Denmark, and myself during this dissertation time frame. The spirit of mutual scientific interest and collaborative research that Dr. Albrechtsen exemplifies shall remain a fundamental academic characteristic that I will always aspire to. This dissertation examines a research objective associated with human performance in agile production systems, with specific attention towards the hypothesis that system outcomes are the causal result of worker human cognition and quality of work life attributes experienced in an agile production system. The development and adoption of world class agile production systems has been an immediate economic answer to the world-wide competitive call for more efficient, more cost-effective, and more quality laden production processes, but has the human element of these processes been fully understood and optimized?Outstanding current literature suggests that the recent movements toward higher standards in systems outcomes (i.e. increased quality, decreased costs, improved delivery schedules, etc) has not been truly evaluated. The human-machine interaction has not been fully comprehended, not to mention quantified; the role of human cognition is still under evaluation; and the coupling of the entire production system with respect to the human quality of life has yielded conflicting messages. viThe dissertation research conducted a longitudinal study to evaluate the interrelationships occurring between system outcomes, applicable elements of human cognition, and the quality of work life issues associated with the human performance in agile production systems. A structural equation modeling analysis aided the evaluation of the hypotheses of the dissertation by synthesizing the three specific instruments measuring the appropriate latent variables: 1. system outcomes -empirical data, 2.human cognition -cognitive task analysis, and 3. quality of work life -questionnaires into a single hypothesized model. These instruments were administered in four (4) waves during the eight month longitudinal study.The study latent variables of system outcomes, human cognition, and quality of work life were shown to be quantifiable and causal in nature. System outcomes were indicated to be a causal result of the combined, yet uncorrelated, effect of human cognition and quality of work life attributes experienced by workers in agile production systems. In addition, this latent var...
