Let's Think Together! Assessing Shared Mental Models, Performance, and Trust in Human-Agent Teams

An emerging research agenda in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work focuses on human-agent teaming and AI agent's roles and effects in modern teamwork. In particular, one understudied key question centers around the construct of team cognition within human-agent teams. This study explores the unique nature of team dynamics in human-agent teams compared to human-human teams and the impact of team composition on perceived team cognition, team performance, and trust. In doing so, a mixed-method approach, including three team composition conditions (all human, human-human-agent, human-agent-agent), completed the team simulation NeoCITIES and completed shared mental model, trust, and perception measures. Results found that human-agent teams are similar to human-only teams in the iterative development of team cognition and the importance of communication to accelerating its development; however, human-agent teams are different in that action-related communication and explicitly shared goals are beneficial to developing team cognition. Additionally, human-agent teams trusted agent teammates less when working with only agents and no other humans, perceived less team cognition with agent teammates than human ones, and had significantly inconsistent levels of team mental model similarity when compared to human-only teams. This study contributes to Computer-Supported Cooperative Work in three significant ways: 1) advancing the existing research on human-agent teaming by shedding light on the relationship between humans and agents operating in collaborative environments, 2) characterizing team cognition development in human-agent teams; and 3) advancing real-world design recommendations that promote human-centered teaming agents and better integrate the two.

Cooperative Work a Fundamental Strategy in Primary Education

This article provides an analysis, review of the different bibliographic sources about cooperative work as a fundamental strategy for the acquisition of competences, which strengthens interpersonal relationships, construction of new knowledge, attitudes and the management of skills such as communication, autonomy, leadership, decision-making, motivation in primary school students since at this level, learning depends not only on a single student but on the effort of the group as a whole to achieve the expected purpose. At present it is a relevant issue since it is a strategy that seeks methodological, active, participatory, dynamic change, awakens the interest of students to discover, learn, innovate, internalize, consolidate learning cooperatively working in small groups to expand their learning, seeking the benefit of all in which they assume the role of protagonists of their own learning developing in different contexts, work in a climate of satisfaction, understanding, respect and tolerance. In the first instance, the different conceptions about cooperative work by recognized authors are made known. Second, information is provided on the characteristics, importance of cooperative work, the structure used by the teacher to carry out the activities. Finally, significant contributions of cooperative.

Kollaboration mit Extended-Reality-Systemen – eine Kategorisierung

ZusammenfassungDie Technologien Augmented Reality (AR) und Virtual Reality (VR), die mit dem Überbegriff Extended Reality (XR) zusammengefasst werden, beeinflussen die Möglichkeiten der Kommunikation und Kollaboration grundlegend. Sie können intuitiv als Schnittstelle diverser Informationsquellen genutzt werden und bieten neue Arten der Informationsdarstellung. Extended-Reality-Systeme (XRS) bauen auf diesen beiden Technologien, AR und VR, auf und haben großes Potenzial für ein breites Spektrum an Anwendungsfällen, insbesondere für Kollaborationen.Trotz dieses Potenzials ist bisher oft nicht klar, wann, wo und wie XRS sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können. Dies verzögert Innovationen und die Einführung in Arbeitsprozesse. Bei Entscheidern ist die Abgrenzung zwischen AR und VR teilweise unzureichend bekannt bzw. es fehlt die Terminologie, um die unterschiedlichen Systeme adäquat zu beschreiben. An dieser Stelle setzt diese konzeptuelle Arbeit an. Sie hat zum Ziel, das Verständnis der Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von XRS für Kollaborationen zu erleichtern sowie bei der Terminologie zu unterstützen. Aufbauend auf einer zentralen Taxonomie aus dem Bereich ‚Computer-Supported Cooperative Work‘ (CSCW) wird eine Kategorisierung von XRS für Kollaborationen entwickelt. Ein Vergleich mit bereits bestehenden Taxonomien zeigt die Notwendigkeit einer praktisch anwendbaren und unkompliziert handhabbaren Kategorisierung für die Praxis.Diese Arbeit trägt durch Kategorisierung, Terminologie und Illustrationen, zu einem besseren Verständnis von XRS-Einsatzmöglichkeiten bei. Dazu werden Illustrationen aus dem Umfeld von industriellen Baustellen genutzt.

Computer-Supported Cooperative Work – Revisited

Due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and the related mandated work for home, we have seen a massive increase of the use of collaboration tools in various work settings in the last 18 months. Whereas this might have been a new terrain for some, IT-supported work and the related research domain Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) have been around for decades. In this article we briefly review what CSCW has to offer for the currently increasing demand in setting up remote collaboration – and share our own observations about what happened when collaboration tools have been introduced in the pandemic. As a summary, we present some learnings from the experience – both for the current state of CSCW research and for future work.

Pengaruh Usia Sumber Daya Manusia pada Efektivitas Kinerja Koperasi di Era Revolusi Industri 4.0

The era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is dubbed the era of digitalization. All data will be interconnected by technology. This causes the age range of human resources to affect the effectiveness of cooperative work. Millennials have an innovative and creative mindset. Utilization of modern information technology must be supported by competent human resources. Competent human resources will create a good cooperative. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cooperative resource age in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and to determine the quality of cooperative human resources needed in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. This research formulates the problem of why the age of cooperative resources has an effect on the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and the quality of cooperative human resources needed in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Data collection techniques were obtained from electronic literature, books, journals, articles, and other sources. The results of the study show that the age of human resources has an influence on cooperatives in the industrial era 4.0 because the skills needed in this era are owned by the millennial generation.

J. Baudouin de Courtenay, A. Schleicher and “Beiträge zur vergleichenden Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der arischen, celtischen und slawischen Sprachen”

The article is devoted to two outstanding linguists - Jan Niecisław Ignacy Baudouin de Courtenay (13.03.1845-3.11.1929) and A. Schleicher (19.02.1821-6.12.1868) - and their cooperative work in Beitrge zur vergleichenden Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der arischen, celtischen und slawischen Sprachen, the journal established by A. Schleicher and A. Kuhn. The article contains some understudied facts about the relations between the two great scientists and a description of the scientific paradigm in which their interaction developed. This article provides a full list of Baudouins works published in the Beitrge zur vergleichenden Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der arischen, celtischen und slawischen Sprachen journal and the articles by Schleicher published in its first volume. It also gives the names of scientists who supported the journal and influenced academic development of both linguists. Beitrge zur vergleichenden Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der arishen, celtischen und slawischen Sprachen, one of the most authoritative bodies of Indo-European studies of the XIX century, has become a recognized tribune of world-class researchers in the field of comparative historical linguistics since its foundation in 1858. In addition to A. Kuhn, A. Schleicher and his students (A. Leskin and J. Schmidt), such outstanding linguists as T. Aufrecht, A.F. Weber, F. Miklosich, M. Mller, A.F. Pott, H. Steinthal, W.D. Whitney, H.W. Ebel and many others published their scientific works there. J. Baudouin de Courtenays collaboration with this scientific publication was fruitful for his development as a scientist and allowed him to introduce his revolutionary views to the general linguistic community.
