“…As experience is gained by doing, we focus more "on what practitioners do, rather on what they say they do" [16]. The research undertaken in real organizational context, aiming to solve immediate problem situation in collaboration with practitioners is called action research.…”

“…The research undertaken in real organizational context, aiming to solve immediate problem situation in collaboration with practitioners is called action research. As described by Avison et al in [16]., "in action research, the researcher wants to try out a theory with practitioners in real situations, gain feedback from this experience, modify the theory as a result of this feedback, and try it again. "…”

“…This project can be categorized as action research because of its duration (four years) and the active operational role assumed by the researchers [15,16]. In addition, the research output is a designed artifact, namely the service cartography tool, which makes the project compatible with design-science frameworks [17].…”

Abstract. We present a longitudinal project using action design research, which is a four-year collaboration between two EPFL entities: The research Laboratory for Systemic Modeling (LAMS) and EPFL's IT department, called the VPSI. During that time the VPSI was going through a transformation into a service-oriented organization. The research project began as an open-ended modeling of some of the VPSI processes. It slowly matured into the design and development of a visualization tool we call service cartography. During this research, we learned that, to successfully apply service-orientation, focusing purely on IT architecture and end-customer value is not enough. Attention must be given to the exchange of internal services between the service organization members and their alignment with the services expected by the external stakeholders. In this paper we present the evolution of (1) our understanding of what services are, and (2) our conceptualization of how the service cartography facilitates the service-oriented thinking.

“…Para analisar tal hipótese adotou-se um método qualitativo de pesquisa, especificamente, a abordagem de pesquisa-ação que é caracterizada pelo processo cíclico envolvendo pesquisadores e profissionais atuando juntos em um ciclo particular de atividades, incluindo diagnóstico de problemas, intervenção ativa e aprendizagem reflexiva (AVISON et al, 1999). Na pesquisa-ação, o pesquisador exercita um modelo ou teoria juntamente com os profissionais em situações reais, obtém retorno a partir dessa experiência e modifica o modelo ou teoria com base nesse retorno, para que o novo modelo ou teoria possa ser novamente aplicado.…”

Considerando conceitos básicos sobre tecnologia, informação e saúde; a observação de propostas curriculares; a análise de softwares e hardwares destinados ao campo da saúde, e a análise crítica da literatura, esta pesquisa focou-se na questão de como formar profissionais do campo da informação e do campo da informática que possam melhor solucionar as problemáticas relacionadas ao contexto da saúde. Para tanto, elaborou-se como hipótese inicial um modelo de ensino-aprendizagem transdisciplinar que abarca quatro aspectos: interação entre docentes e discentes de diferentes áreas; integração entre o contexto externo e o contexto da instituição educacional; condições institucionais; sistematização de um projeto de ensino-aprendizagem. Para analisar tal hipótese, adotou-se um método qualitativo, qual seja, a pesquisa-ação, durante o período de ano, no qual foram ofertados dois cursos, com duração de 60 horas cada um e participação de 35 alunos. Como resultado da pesquisa, o modelo proposto se mostrou adequado para o ensino-aprendizagem em tecnologia e informação em saúde, sendo enfatizados parâmetros do contexto educacional transdisciplinar, como a competência linguística, a harmonizacao conceitual, os padrões éticos, a linguagem dos textos selecionados, e a relação entre as problemáticas discutidas no contexto externo e interno.

“…Using the action research approach in the Information Systems (IS) community is well known (e.g. Mathiassen 1998Mathiassen , 2002Avison, Lau, Myers & Nielsen 1999;Vidgen and Braa, 1997;Braa and Vidgen, 2000;Donnellan, 2003). The IS action research approach combines theory and practice through change and reflection in a problematic real-life situation.…”

Abstract:In this paper we apply Davis' Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in a qualitative fashion to analyze and interpret the chronological sequence of events leading to the acceptance of the Groupware technology, BSCW, in a virtual learning team. The research question investigated is: What are the factors influencing the integration process of Groupware technology in virtual learning teams in part-time adult education? The data were gathered through an in-depth qualitative action research study of one virtual learning team doing problem-oriented project work within a master education program. We find that one important factor influencing the integration process of Groupware is: How the technology provides support for social perspective awareness. In the case investigated the technology BSCW supported social awareness, which influenced both the ease-of-use and the perceived-usefulness of the Groupware technology, thus being an important condition that influenced the positive outcome of the integration process.
