在认知人体工程学中,使用基于计算机的模拟(微观世界)进行的实验室实验在理解人类决策和推理方面发挥了重要作用。在本文中,我们描述了社会工作微观世界(BRIGIT)的设计和部署,它模拟了目前在英国儿童服务中广泛实施的电子记录系统。 BRIGIT 提供了一个虚构但现实的社会工作环境,使得能够研究专业信息处理的精细结构以响应实验操作,例如时间压力等。这里描述了一个初步实验,表明 BRIGIT 提供了令人信服的心理体验和有用的研究工具。除了展示其表面和外部有效性外,结果还强调了 BRIGIT 作为探索“实践文化”和检查不同专业意义构建模式的一种方式的实用性。我们的结论是,微观世界范式为研究社会工作实践提供了一种有价值且创新的方法。讨论了一系列可能的应用,不仅在基础研究中,而且作为在工作场所使用的实用工具,例如支持员工选拔。直接旨在提高电子系统的可用性和有效性的“设计研究”也具有明显的潜力,考虑到当前社会工作中信息通信技术系统的问题被广泛报道,这一点很重要。
In cognitive ergonomics, laboratory experimentation using computer-based simulations (microworlds) has played a significant role in understanding human decision making and reasoning. In this paper, we describe the design and deployment of a social work microworld (BRIGIT), which simulates the electronic recording systems now widely implemented in UK children's services. BRIGIT provides a fabricated but realistic social work environment, enabling the fine structure of professional information processing to be studied in response to experimental manipulations, such as time pressure, etc. A preliminary experiment is described here, which shows BRIGIT to provide a convincing psychological experience and a useful research tool. As well as demonstrating its face and external validity, the results highlight BRIGIT's utility as a way of probing ‘practice culture’ and for examining different patterns of professional sense making. We conclude that the microworld paradigm provides a valuable and innovative approach for researching social work practice. A range of possible applications are discussed, not only in fundamental research, but as a practical tool for use in the workplace, such as for supporting staff selection. There is also obvious potential for ‘design research’ aimed directly at improving the usability and effectiveness of electronic systems, which is important given the widely reported problems of current ICT systems in social work.
