- 1. Transformative Interactions in Collaborative Virtual Environments: Towards Transdisciplinarity Barbara Truman, Doctorate of Computer Science, Emerging Media September 18, 2013 “The Weavers” Jeanie Tomanek http://jeanietomanek.com/
- 2. http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/pia17462main_8k.jpg Exploratory Research Questions The Voyager space probe crossed the boundary into interstellar space September 2013 - What is the nature of how people use avatars to collaborate in virtual environments? - What is the nature of reflexive, self awareness in the context of avatar relationship? - What is the nature of how avatars engage in ‘dialogue’?
- 3. Background: Research Problem Diverse, collective, and concerted expertise is required to solve wicked problems and conduct transdisciplinary research in a timely, effective, and efficient manner. Assessing collaboration is also a goal from agencies such as The National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and the National Cancer Institute that rely on Team Science.

- Welcome and ThanksSet the stage for my research – start with this image http://jeanietomanek.com/MetaNexusInstitute article about transdisciplinarityManage some expectations- What this study is not about: Learning in virtual environmentsCollaborative learningBreadth of collaborative “activities”Designing virtual environmentsCultural and social intelligenceStart with a definition- Collaboration- is different than cooperation. Collaboration frequently requires significant investment in relationship and trust building activities. Collaboration enables the emergence of understanding and realization of shared visions in complex environments or systems. Collaboration does not necessarily require harmony. Mostly, collaboration requires commitment in addition to shared goals, trust and respect.
- Listening, listening… hear anything? Phenomenological research explored individual experiences. The priority was to explore constructs developed for the study using an inductive approach while confirming the relationship of the variables using a deductive approach. Dialogue- is different than discussion, conversation, and debate. Dialogue enables one’s experience to subtly shift allowing sight through others’ eyes. Sustained dialogue often creates empathy. Possibilities open up to new insights as deep listening and understanding emerge. Dialogue builds collaboration. Not all dialogue is formal or structured. Dialogue may include improvisational exchanges with friends, family, colleagues etc.
- (Transdisciplinary Tobacco Research Use Centers or TTURCs) did not include a Coordinating Center. Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC)"The science of team science encompasses an amalgam of conceptual and methodologic strategies aimed at understanding and enhancing the outcomes of large-scale collaborative research and training programs
- The origins of transdisciplinarity are traced to Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist and philosopher who was credited in coining the term in France around 1969. Basarab Nicolescu, physicist from Romania is widely considered the father of transdisciplinarity. He founded the International Center for Transdisciplinary Research and Studies (CIRET)Three types of transdisciplinarity are described in the literature and they are: theoretical, phenomenological, and experimental. Nicolescu’s theoretical is more about the importance of becoming mindful about “being” so as to unite the inquirer with the inquiry. Typically, transdisciplinarity goes across, between and *beyond* disciplines, reality, or phenomena.Transdisciplinarity also embraces complexity.
- Appreciative Inquiry is about the coevolutionary search for the best in people, their organizations, and the relevant world around them. In its broadest focus, it involves systematic discovery of what gives “life” to a living system when it is most alive, most effective, and most constructively capable in economic, ecological, and human terms. "Cultural-historical activity theory introduced the idea of human psychological functions mediated through tools, rules, roles and community. That is, “the human mind emerges, exists, and can only be understood within the context of human interaction with the world; and…this interaction, that is, activity, is socially and culturally determined (Kaptelinin, Nardi, & Macaulay, 1999, p.28)" as seen in (Suter, 2011, p. 33).The third dimension of Transformed Social Interaction (TSI) called self-representation was used as the theoretical framework. TSI was developed by Bailenson (2006) and has been shown to affect the interactions and behaviors of users in CVEs.“Transdisciplinarity is a new form of learning and problem solving involving cooperation among different parts of society and academia in order to meet complex challenges of society. Transdisciplinarity research starts from tangible, real-world problems.
- What is this phenomenon? Not sure what to call it. Gaps in the literature. Refer to fancy map
- Need for unstructured dialogue. More spontaneous. Between meetings as much as in meetings. The notion of playing with ideas over coffee, arguing over dinner and a bottle of wine, the excitement of sharing ideas with friends late into the night, the more convivial, everyday, unstructured processes, similar to what social philosopher and cultural critic, William Irving Thompson called “mind jazz” (Montuori, 2013, p. 219-220).
- Scharmer’s new book - Leading from the Emerging Future: From Ego-System to Eco-System EconomiesFifth Discipline:Help companies, associations and groups become learning organization. Goal of the book was to communicate the research to help foster aspiration, develop reflective conversation, and understand complexityKnow when you are using dialogue that you move from seeing to sensing to presencing (uses highest Self) Scharmer says that a good indicator that you have been in dialogue is when you feel that you have become a different personIn presencing, the place where I operate is identical to the place where we operate. It emerges from the presence or the coming into being of the larger whole. Sometimes, this level of conversation occurs after many days of common work, as intentional quietness or sacred silence (Isaacs 1999). When it happens, the experience of time slows down, and the speech acts change from speaking based on reflection to speaking from what emerges in the here and now. Jaworski (1996), referring to Buber (1970), describes this level of reality experience as synchronicity, in which the boundaries between I and thou seem to completely disappear.GENERATIVE LEARNING "(Type I: learning from the experiences of the past) to generative learning (Type II: learning from emerging futures). The primary issue at this stage is the need for a sound methodology that takes a team from the reflective space (level 3) to the space of deep intention of will (level 4) (Scharmer, 2000).
- 3 part survey with open and closed questions on the group, avatar, and individual levels (42 items, 14 factors)Some survey items were patterned after studied performed by Ratan, McCreery, Van Looy, and the NCI’s Team Science Toolkit specifically the baseline survey for the TREC- Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC)Stokols and HallFor the qualitative methods- phenomenological research explored individual experiences, using open ended survey questions that will be interpreted using thematic analysis, thick description compared to the literature. For the quantitative methods- correlational research will assess the relationships among variables for a single group. The 14 factors are…
- Participants:Sampling range are known, active, diverse collaborative groups involving volunteers that have international, cross-industry participation working toward professional, shared goals
- Caution should be used to interpret findings Phenomenology as an approach requires the researcher to bracket their bias and experience when engaging in qualitative research. The use of self-reported data helps avoid bias in this case at the price of reliability (Creswell, 2012, p. 57). Transdisciplinarity suggests that the researcher is inseparable with the observed. Transdisciplinarity encourages us to learn about “being” to better experience phenomena, data collection, analysis, and interpretation to better integrate the researchers’ experience (Montuori, 2013).
- Transformative cultivation of self to Self (Scharmer, 2000; Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, & Flowers, 2005; Scharmer, 2009; Scharmer 2010)
