Understanding how teams function is vital because they are increasingly dominating the production of high-impact science.
Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is substantially affecting the human condition in ways that are not yet well understood. Negative unintended consequences abound including perpetuation and exacerbation societal inequalities divisions via algorithmic decision making. We present six grand challenges for scientific community to create AI human-centered, is, ethical, fair, enhance condition. These result an international collaboration across academia, industry...
This essay discusses interdisciplinary research in the context of science policy and practice science. Comparisons between other forms cross-disciplinary are made, a brief discussion development concept interdisciplinarity is provided. The overarching thesis this that team research, is, conducted by team. notion developed via recent discussions need to understand action. author shows how it may be possible consider implementation principles from teamwork training improve
Objective: This article presents a model for predicting complex collaborative processes as they arise in one-of-a-kind problem-solving situations to predict performance outcomes. The goal is outline set of key and their interrelationship describe how these can be used collaboration embedded within contexts. Background: Teams are increasingly called upon address tasks novel situations. represents domain that date has been underrepresented the research literature. Method: Multidisciplinary...
This paper discusses a theoretical framework designed to elucidate the many issues surrounding distributed team performance, emphasizing how work characteristics associated with such teams may alter both processes and products emerging from interaction. It is suggested that performance can best be understood through conceptualization of coordination space within which interaction occurs over time distance. The goal take socio-technical approach research so one explicate cognitive...
Knowledge integration in diverse teams depends on their integrative capacity—the social and cognitive processes, along with emergent states, that shape a team’s ability to combine knowledge. We argue capacity represents the potential team has overcome various compositional, team, contextual barriers generating integrated novel This article focuses specifically unique challenges facing science have goal of knowledge at intersection disciplinary, practice, organizational boundaries. The is...
Interpersonal skills (IPS) are crucial in today's business environment. As collaboration is the foundation of operations, executives consistently rank interpersonal as a critical competency for successful workforce. Yet, relying on training and development efforts after hiring not enough—especially when funding "soft skills" being cut across work domains. Because organizations need to select interpersonally competent individuals who can successfully engage interactions immediately upon hire,...
Abstract The First Annual International Science of Team (SciTS) Conference was held in Chicago, IL April 22–24, 2010. This article presents a summary the proceedings. Clin Trans Sci 2010; Volume 3: 263–266.
An increase in cross-disciplinary, collaborative team science initiatives over the last few decades has spurred interest by multiple stakeholder groups empirical research on scientific teams, giving rise to an emergent field referred as of (SciTS). This study employed a concept-mapping evaluation methodology develop comprehensive agenda for SciTS field. Its integrative mixed-methods approach combined group process with statistical analysis derive conceptual framework that identifies areas...
Swift starting action teams (STATs) are increasingly prevalent in organizations, and the development of trust is often a critical issue for their effectiveness. However, current theory research do not provide clear picture regarding how toward team (i.e., as target) developed these settings. The primary contribution this article to present theoretical framework describing individual-level one’s STAT contexts. This integrates several existing theories into one comprehensive context-specific...
As robots are increasingly deployed in settings requiring social interaction, research is needed to examine the signals perceived by humans when display certain cues. In this paper, we report a study designed how interpret cues exhibited robots. We first provide brief overview of perspectives from cognition and these processes applicable human-robot interaction (HRI). then discuss need relationship between as function degree which robot socially present agent. describe an experiment were...
In this paper we advance team theory by describing how cognition occurs across the distribution of members and artifacts technology that support their efforts. We draw from complementary theorizing coming out cognitive engineering science views forms as external extended integrate with on macrocognition in teams. Two frameworks are described provide groundwork for advancing aid development more precise measures understanding via focus technologies supporting use. This includes distinctions...
Abstract Multiple theories of problem‐solving hypothesize that there are distinct qualitative phases exhibited during effective problem‐solving. However, limited research has attempted to identify when transitions between occur. We integrate theory on collaborative ( CPS ) with dynamical systems suggesting a system is undergoing phase transition it should exhibit peak in entropy and levels also relate team performance. Communications from 40 teams collaborated complex problem were coded for...
Abstract One of the significant challenges for burgeoning field macrocognition is development more sophisticated models that are able to adequately explain and predict complex cognitive processes. This even critical when specifying research questions involving cognition unfolding across interacting individuals, is, in teams. In this article, we provide a foundation developing model focusing on collaborating problem-solving teams with measurement framework studying macrocognitive processes...
With the rapid spread of distance learning as a medium for delivering instruction, practice has outpaced research. This paper describes major themes identified in review selected research papers published past five years. Themes include following: definitions and why it should be studied; identification theories on which is based; how collaboration can achieved via learning; role that learner characteristics play success systems, issues related to measuring effectiveness learning. The...
