Drawing on practices for modeling socio-technical systems

چکیده
The formal description of pedagogical scenarios and learning processes has attracted a lot of attention among researchers and developers in recent years. Nevertheless current modeling approaches resemble the notion of workflows and hence fall short in describing the situated and socially mediated nature of practice. Against this background the paper describes an alternative modeling approach as well as its theoretical foundation and practical implications.

Activity Systems and Context Working as Core Concepts in Modeling Socio-Technical Systems
Current modeling approaches in the field of learning and work resemble the notion of workflows and hence fall short in describing the situated and socially mediated nature of practices. Against this background the paper describes an alternative modeling approach as well as its theoretical foundation and practical implications. As this paper rethinks the epistemological foundation of modeling so...
متن کاملA socio-technical approach to improving the systems development process
Research on improving the systems development processes has primarily focused on mechanisms such as tools, software development methodologies, and process capabilities. This research has yielded considerable insights into improving the systems development process, but the large majority of information systems development projects still continue to be over budget, late, and ineffective in meetin...
متن کاملPractices, Systems, and Context Working as Core Concepts in Modeling Socio-Technical Systems
This work draws on the cultural historical activity-theory and the theory of social systems to model socio-technical systems. The concepts of practice, system, and context work as core concepts to represent processes and activities such as learning and working. Current modeling approaches in the field of learning and work resemble the notion of workflows, relating input and output in a means-en...
متن کاملGenerative Resistance: Broadening the Boundaries of Research on Resistance in Information Systems Change
This paper proposes a new research perspective on resistance to information systems (IS) change. Drawing upon a power lens and complementing it with the organizational literature on resistance, we develop an integrative framework that conceptualizes resistance at three levels: 1) the non-compliance behaviors, 2) the meanings and norms that resisters contest and enact, and 3) the technical artif...
متن کاملThreat Modeling Data Analysis in Socio-technical Systems
Our decision-making processes are becoming more data driven, based on data from multiple sources, of different types, processed by a variety of technologies. As technology becomes more relevant for decision processes, the more likely they are to be subjects of attacks aimed at disrupting their execution or changing their outcome. With the increasing complexity and dependencies on technical comp...
