“…Within GA literature, the concept itself is mostly ill-defined since tools rather than the psychological construct itself have been the focus of most of this research. If definitions are proposed, they refer to the concept as "knowledge" (e.g., Kirsch Pinheiro & Souveyet, 2018;Strauß & Rummel, 2021;Yilmaz & Yilmaz, 2020) or "knowledge and perception" (e.g., Buder & Bodemer, 2008;Erkens & Bodemer, 2019), "understanding" (e.g., Ma et al, 2020, following Dourish & Bellotti, 1992, "information" (e.g., Kirsch Pinheiro & Souveyet, 2018;Ma et al, 2020) or "information that allows to understand" (e.g., Papadopoulos et al, 2018), "(state of) being informed" (e.g., Buder et al, 2021;Cheng et al, 2021;Lin et al, 2016;Schnaubert & Bodemer, 2019following Bodemer & Dehler, 2011, "consciousness and information" (e.g., Li et al, 2021following Gross et al, 2005 or "information that is mentally present" (Bodemer et al, 2018). Thus, to describe or even define GA, researchers often use a variety of terms related to awareness, but not quite capturing all facets.…”

Group awareness is of critical relevance for collaborative learning and interaction and is thus often referred to in CSCL research. However, the concept is only vaguely defined as some kind of understanding or perception of characteristics of learning partners or the collaborating group. Most CSCL research activities concerned with group awareness aim at modifying learners' awareness using so-called group awareness tools. However, there are much less attempts to measure group awareness and to conceptualize its formation. Thus, building on existing group awareness research, this article derives a conceptualization with six defining aspects of group awareness: (1) group awareness is cognitive, (2) group awareness is conscious, (3) group awareness is current, (4) group awareness is individual, (5) group awareness is social, and (6) group awareness is perceived as valid. Additionally, while it is often assumed that group awareness builds on self-regulatory skills, its role in regulating behavior and cognition within a social context is seldom explored. Thus, this article aims at defining and analyzing the concept of group awareness, specifying its relation to regulatory processes, and sketching possible research paths whilst building on, complementing, and informing tool-driven research.

This article discusses the interest of emerging a unified view for group awareness and context information on groupware and context-aware systems. Group awareness corresponds to an important concept on Groupware applications, allowing individual users to be kept aware of group's activities and status. Context is defined by ubiquitous computing as any relevant information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. We assume that group awareness information should be considered as context information and handled as such. Group awareness information is often employed for decision making, contributing to users' activities and decisions, but it gives also an important clue about user's context, characterizing individual's actions regarding the group. As such, group awareness may be used for adaptation purposes, adapting the system behavior, the supplied content or its services. Besides, architectural concerns adopted on context-aware system should also be considered when developing new groupware applications that are more and more designed as context-aware systems.
