coordinated computer supported collaborative learning awareness and awareness tools
Educational Psychologist, 2013Co-Authors: Jeroen Janssen, Daniel BodemerAbstract:Traditionally, research on awareness during online collaboration focused on topics such as the effects of spatial information about group members’ activities on the collaborative process. When the concept of awareness was introduced to computer-supported collaborative learning, this focus shifted to cognitive group awareness (e.g., information about group members’ knowledge and expertise) and social group awareness (e.g., information about group members’ contributions to the group process). In this article, we show how both cognitive and social group awareness affect coordination of collaborative activities in the content (e.g., cognitive learning activities) and Relational Space (e.g., maintaining a positive group climate) of collaboration. Furthermore, we describe how cognitive and social group awareness tools (i.e., tools designed to enhance cognitive or social group awareness) may help learners coordinate their activities in both Spaces. We present a conceptual framework that shows how group awareness...

seeking fluid possibility and solid ground Space and movement in mental health service users experiences of crisis
Social Science & Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Laura Mcgrath, Paula ReaveyAbstract:Since the closure of the UK asylums, ‘the community’ has become short hand for describing a variety of disparate and complex Spaces, in which service users manage their experiences of distress. An examination of such Spaces here forms the basis of an analysis of the way in which service users move through and within Space, to establish agency and dis/order while distressed. Seventeen participants, with various experiences of mental distress took part in a qualitative study, and a further textual analysis was conducted on eight published autobiographies. In the context of the interviews, participants presented drawings of the Spaces they occupy during times of crisis, wellbeing and recovery. All texts were analysed using a thematic approach, informed by theories of embodiment and Relational Space. In this paper, the focus is directed towards two key patterns of movement, in order to explore ways in which participants experiencing various forms of mental health crisis used Space in order to maintain and manage feelings of agency. Firstly, incidents where participants described moving towards fluid, outside Spaces are explored, with agency being established through seeking, and utilising, greater possibilities for action and engaging others. In addition, the opposite pattern of movement is also explored, using incidents where participants described moving indoors, using the private Space of the home to establish order and restore feelings of agency and strength, in contrast to overwhelming experiences in public Space. Connections between these patterns of movement and particular forms of distress are discussed. It is argued that community and private Spaces are integral to the ways in which selfhood, agency and action is experienced in mental distress, which in turn has implications for policy, treatment and community action.

the waiting room as a Relational Space young patients and their families experience in a day hospital
Child Care Health and Development, 2015Co-Authors: Paola Corsano, Marinella Majorano, Valentina Vignola, Laura Guidotti, Giancarlo IzziAbstract:Background Waiting in hospital is a condition of high stress for patients and their families, especially in childhood. The literature has investigated the emotional experiences of patients and their families, recognizing the need for a comfortable environment, attention from the staff, information and sharing emotions with others. Waiting time in day hospitals is a topic that has not yet been investigated in the literature, but is nevertheless interesting for researchers. This exploratory study investigates the experience of waiting young patients and their families go through during treatments in day hospitals. Method Fifty children and adolescents from ages 7 to 15 years, admitted to the day hospital of a paediatric haematology and oncology ward of an Italian hospital, completed the Emotional Reaction Instrument (ERI) and the Child Drawing: Hospital. Their parents or relatives completed a semi-structured interview on waiting. Results The data showed that the young patients displayed a low level of anxiety and negative emotion. In contrast, the adults' experience of waiting in the day hospital entailed boredom, anxiety and concern for the emotional state of their children. These conditions can be alleviated by relationships and sharing emotions with other adults. Conclusions This study has shown that day hospital waiting rooms should be organized and should be experienced by adults and children as Relational Spaces. This could provide useful suggestions in order to improve the organization of day hospital waiting rooms.

analyzing participant produced photographs from an ethnographic study of fatherhood and smoking
Research in Nursing & Health, 2008Co-Authors: John L Oliffe, Joan L Bottorff, M T Kelly, Michael HalpinAbstract:As part of an ongoing ethnographic study, we examined the photographs and narratives that new fathers produced to ascertain how they created social, psychological, and Relational Space for continued smoking. A four-part process for analyzing the photographs consisting of preview, review, cross-photo comparison, and theorizing revealed how visual data analyses can be used to develop insights into men's health behaviors and beliefs. There is ongoing epistemological debate and methodological uncertainty about how photographic data should be treated in health sciences research. By conducting formal layered analyses, researchers can expand and extend both what is said about, and interpreted through, photographs.
