Speaker
Description
This presentation is sponsored by Tsukuba University Graduate Student Showcase: Beyond complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) analysis, growing attention has been paid to functional adequacy (FA), a primary construct of successful task completion. Nevertheless, longitudinal research on FA through integrated tasks (ITs) remains scarce. To address this gap, this study aims to identify which IT features most effectively promote FA. Japanese technical students will be assigned to four IT groups and one control group.
Abstract section 1: Relevance
Beyond complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) analysis, growing attention has been paid to functional adequacy (FA), a primary construct of successful task completion. Nevertheless, longitudinal research on FA through integrated tasks (ITs) remains scarce.
Abstract section 2: Contribution/research questions
This study aims to identify which IT features most effectively promote FA.
Abstract section 3: Content/method
Japanese technical students will be assigned to four IT groups and one control group. The design of ITs varies in visual support, meaning exchange, and interactional demand. Over an 11-week intervention period, FA will be assessed using a 6-point Likert scale (Kuiken & Vedder, 2018).
Abstract section 4: Outcomes/results
This study is just ready to start.
