Technostress in the Classroom: A Behavioural and Neurophysiological Investigation

 

Milena Head is a Professor of Information Systems and the Wayne C. Fox Chair in Business Innovation at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University (Canada). Her research interests relate to human-computer interaction and technology use and misuse. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in academic journals, books and conferences including MIS Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Information & Management, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, International Journal of Electronic Commerce, among others.  Dr. Head has been the recipient of several research and teaching awards  and serves on numerous journal editorial boards. 

Khaled Hassanein is a Professor of Information Systems, Associate Dean (Graduate Studies & Research), and Director of the McMaster Digital Transformation Research Centre at the DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University. His research interests include digital technology adoption; HCI; DSS; and Neuro-IS. He has published over 115 peer-reviewed articles in leading conferences and journals including MISQ, ISR, JSIS, I&M, DSS, IJHCS. He is a senior editor, associate editor or editorial board member with several Information Systems’ journals. He is a joint holder of several U.S. patents, a senior member of the IEEE and a designated Professional Engineer in Ontario.

While Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have tremendous potential to support positive teaching and learning, we must also be mindful of the potential negative consequences of the intensive use of such technologies. Evidence suggests that students are susceptible to anxiety through the use of ICT and distraction by others using ICTs in the classroom. Technology-mediated interruptions (i.e. “technorruptions”) can have negative consequences on users and can affect others surrounding them. A significant proportion of students use ICTs for texting, gaming, social networking, and personal purposes in the classroom, which may distract the teacher and other students, and detriment learning. It is thus critical to rigorously study this phenomenon in the classroom to understand its impact on the educational process.

Traditionally, research in human computer interaction (HCI) has taken a behavioural perspective, in which perceptions are measured through self-reported questionnaires and interviews. Research using such traditional methods yields significant insights; however, these tools have major shortcomings due to inherent biases.  Recently, researchers are realizing the major benefits that physiological measures and brain activity measures offer in helping to understand human behaviour.  In our proposed research, we plan to triangulate neurophysiological observations in conjunction with traditional HCI methods.  In our neurophysiological HCI research lab, we will simulate a variety of face-to-face and virtual educational settings in which participants (i.e., students, teachers) experience technorruptions. We anticipate that this investigation will significantly enrich our understanding of technostress implications on student-student and student-teacher relationships, as well as impacts on their attention, engagement, and learning.

    Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to understand a lot approximately this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few p.c. to drive the message home a bit, however other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

    Needed to compose you this very little word to be able to thank you so much the moment again for your personal striking tactics you’ve featured on this site. It is so tremendously open-handed with people like you giving extensively just what most people could possibly have supplied as an e book in order to make some dough for themselves, most importantly since you could possibly have done it in the event you desired. These good ideas in addition acted like the easy way to be aware that some people have the identical eagerness really like my own to know the truth lots more around this condition. Certainly there are lots of more enjoyable times up front for people who scan through your site.
