Setting the Scene

„Returning to and evaluating past work experiences…“

„… in order to learn and improve future experiences“

Setting the Scene

D. Boud, R. Keogh, and D. Walker. Reflection: Turning Experience into Learning, chapter Promoting Reflection in Learning: a Model., pages 18-40. Routledge Falmer, New York, 1985.

Reflective Learning

Returning to and evaluating past work performances and personal experiences in order to promote continuous learning and improve future experiences.

The Quantified Self. http://quantifiedself.com

The Quantified Self

Quantified Self (QS) Collaboration of users and tool makers Self-knowledge through self-tracking Gaining self-knowledge about one‘s experiences, behaviors, habits and

thoughts

Research Questions

Can Quantified Self aid Learning at work? How can Quantified Self principles and tools support reflective learning

at work scenarios?

Can the use of QS tools capture data about our daily work-activities, which can be relevant for reflective learning?

What different mechanisms can we use for visualizing the data to foster learning processes and motivate users to track data about themselves?

Is this information useful to learn from our own experiences and improve our work? e.g. Can users get to feel better, suffer less emotional load and perform their work better?

Research Approach

Theory Model Unification of QS approaches and Reflective Learning Identification of support dimensions

2 Use Cases

Identification of a work context and its requirements Development of an application (user-centered) Interaction design and motivational techniques Incremental refinement Evaluation in real contexts

Summative Evaluation

Success of the application for learning purposes End-user benefits

Integrated Model of Reflective Learning and Quantified Self

Theory: Cognitive process

Theory: Cognitive process Tools: Experimentation

Reflective Process Experience(s) Outcomes

Tracking Cues

Triggering

Recalling and Revisiting Experiences

Use Case 1: reflecting on Feedback

Academic and research context Capturing of feedback Support researchers, professors, lecturers, students Lectures and conferences In-action & On-action

LIM App: Live Interest Meter

First Prototype Refinements for second prototype

Use Case 2: reflecting on Mood

Telecommunications company Capturing mood Weekly virtual meetings Lack of non-verbal communication

MoodMap App

Reviewing mood evolution Comparing own values with the

rest of the team

MoodMap App: 3 scenarios for 2nd Prototype

IT Company – Netherlands Project meetings (whole project and comparison with documents) Feedback and support of the RL process (triggering)

Call takers at Emergency Service – Italy Contextualization

Market Experiment – Germany Evaluation of benefit of RL (better negotiation/trading, avoiding bubbles)

Wrap Up: My contribution

Integrated model to inform technological support of reflective learning at work

New tools to support learners in different work environments

HCI perspective Quantification and analysis of abstract data Visualization of affective data and its context Interaction design for mobile applications Techniques for user’s motivation

Wrap Up: Stepping forward

EU FP7 Project MIRROR, Reflective Learning at Work

Individuals learn most by observing others and from experiences

Support learning-on-the-job and experience sharing Learning by reflection on observed practices and collected

data Focus on acquisition of tacit knowledge

Reflective Learning at Work
