Supporting Experimentation with Side Views - Terry, Mynatt (2002)   (Correct)

....Side Views allow users to clarify the effect of commands, make comparisons between commands, experiment, and serendipitously discover viable alternatives. BACKGROUND Practitioners naturally experiment and explore multiple solutions to a problem in the course of constructing a creative result [4, 5, 6]. For example, industrial designers explicitly generate dozens of concept sketches for a new product, then extract the most desirable characteristics of each to combine into a new series of sketches. This process repeats itself until only a handful of candidates remain. The need for this ....

....into a new series of sketches. This process repeats itself until only a handful of candidates remain. The need for this iterative, experimental, and exploratory process is evident when one considers that the goal of a creative activity is to develop an original result never before attained [3, 6, 7]. By definition, then, there exists no recipe for reaching the novel result: practitioners must actively experiment and explore to develop a methodology that yields something completely new [6] In our own studies of expert users of computer based tools (specifically, artists and graphic ....

Utilities] graphics editors General Terms: Design, Human Factors Keywords: Creativity, open ended tasks, non linear interaction model, Side Views, on demand previews, image manipulation INTRODUCTION The creative process requires much effort to define, refine, and realize a creative vision [4, 13, 14].

For example, Shneiderman outlines a number of high level user interface guidelines ....

....users as they progress through open ended tasks. These studies clearly affirm the need for the user to be able to experiment; to explore variations; and to evaluate past, current, and potential future states. These processes closely parallel those described by Schn s theory of reflection in action [13], which we use to frame our observations and to further our understanding of what is required to support progression through an open ended task. We then turn to an analysis of the ways interfaces support or hinder creative processes. We find that user interfaces often fall short of explicitly ....

Schn describes such knowledge as knowing in action, which practitioners demonstrate spontaneously and intuitively in their action and reaction to the constantly changing context but are unable to describe [17]. Because knowing in action is highly situated in the context in which it is demonstrated, learning cannot be thought of as a process of gaining, through instruction, a discrete body of abstract knowledge that learners will then transport and reapply in later contexts. Instead, learning in ....

The Relationship between Information and Knowledge - Stenmark (2001)   (Correct)

....but although information and knowledge are related, the information per se contains no knowledge. Routines, procedures, rules, manuals, and books all need knowledge to be decoded and are therefore not explicit knowledge but information . 8 Organisational knowledge and IT Just as Polanyi, Schn (1983) elaborates on the relationship between the tacit and the reflected, but where Polanyi discusses the cultural aspects of our society, Schn focuses on an organisational context. According to Sc hn, our knowledge is in our actions. Although actions in themselves are rather ephemeral in character, ....

Design deals with ill defined problems, making the integration of problem framing and problem solving a necessity [Schn, 1983]. A particular challenge for context aware applications in design domains is that context emerges throughout the design process, and that a determination of whether some information or action should be considered as relevant or irrelevant context can be determined only during the design process, ....

We may refer to these objects of the design in the terms of Schn as the materials of the design problem (Schn 1983). The materials are the elements through which the design is manipulated in the designer s mind, through which the design problem space can be explored, and through which a design solution can be expressed. Without some definition of these materials of early design, we have no ability to employ ....

....The subject areas we want to investigate do not contain answers that can be found in textbooks or derived in a semester, but instead are complex, vague and open ended problems. Within our model, students are designers and reflective practitioners who must frame the problems they will investigate [Schn, 1983]. The knowledge to understand, frame, and solve design problems does not exist a priori, but is constructed and evolved by exploiting the power of the symmetry of ignorance [Rittel, 1984] and breakdowns [Winograd Flores, 1986] Central to the notion of design as a model of collaborative work ....

This backtalk will be severely limited by representations that do not serve as boundary objects. While some of the backtalk will be provided by the design situation itself, this may be insufficient because our ability to notice breakdowns and problematic situations by (visual) inspection and ....

....effort has focused on the domain of locational decision making in urban planning, specifically in transportation planning and community development. Creating shared understanding requires a culture in which stakeholders see themselves as reflective practitioners rather than all knowing experts [Schn, 1983]. The symmetry of ignorance is a defining notion of such collaborative design activities: stakeholders are aware that while they each possess equally important knowledge, none of them has all the relevant knowledge to frame or resolve such problems. A central theoretical vision of the EDC is to ....

Because of uncertain initial requirements, the design task is not well defined. Designers reflect on their efforts and approach their tasks iteratively.

Schn points out that in practice designers are not presented with a detailed description of problems. The descriptions must be built from the uncertain situations (Schn, 1983). Designers have to perform a certain amount of work to convert situations in soluble problems. Dominowski and Dallob see problems as situations in which some goal is desired but the way to achieve it is unclear (Dominowski Dallob, 1995) However, designers might have acquired knowledge how a ....

NATURE OF PROBLEMS IN DESIGN Schn sees problem formalisation (PF) as a process, where designers interactively name objects, TO which they will attend and frame the context, IN which they will attend to the objects (Schn, 1983). His definition supports the claim that problem formalisation contains both problem recognition and description. Problem recognition builds a framework for viewing an uncertain situation. Once the viewpoint is chosen, designers name concepts that are important and relevant from the current point ....

Problem solving, on the one hand, requires flexible, general purpose mechanisms to explore the space of representations supporting the problem framing aspect of design [100].

At that moment, designers stop and reflect on how to overcome the ....
