1043.5 Student motivation as a function of future time perspective and perceived
instrumentality, W. Lens, J. Simons, M. Vansteenkiste, University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium
We will document the motivational role of future time perspective and instrumentality Students
can be intrinsically motivated by task-goals and extrinsically by rewards or punishments. But
schooling is also future-oriented. Students may be motivated for schoolwork because they plan to
go to college or because they want to acquire a profession. We distinguish three types of
instrumentality: (a) present task- or performance goals and future extrinsic goals; (b) present
task-goals and future task-goals or present performance-goals and future performance-goals, (c)
present task-goals (performance-goals) and future performance-goals (task-goals).The
motivational and learning effects of different types of instrumentality, will be discussed.

1044.1 Dynamics of information flow and knowledge development in distributed supervisory
control of space flight, B.S. Caldwell, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
The issues of synchronization of knowledge development and task performance become especially
important in the domain of supervisory control of human space flight systems. Vehicle complexity,
differences in local knowledge and expertise, and delays in information flow all affect
coordination among ground-based controllers, as well as knowledge sharing between controllers
and crewmembers in space. This paper addresses issues of information flow to support expertise
content, environmental context, and team coordination process exchanges using information and
communication technology systems. Examples from the US Mission Control Center are used to
develop a broader model of distributed expertise and group performance effectiveness.
1044.2 A taxonomy of collaboration in complex and dynamic work domains, R. Chow,
Defence R&D Canada, Toronto, ON, Canada
Many research studies have been conducted to understand and to design support collaboration in
complex and dynamic work domains. However, most descriptions of collaboration tend to be so
laden with domain-specific, task-specific, and/or organization-specific terminology that
underlying similarities and differences between instances of collaboration become difficult to
recognize. This paper proposes a taxonomy intended to facilitate principled comparisons of
collaboration based on: characteristics of the underlying work domains, distribution of
responsibility among the stakeholders, and distribution of information among the stakeholders.
This taxonomy will be applied to studies of collaboration in the diverse domains of space mission
control, telecommunication network management, and emergency medical services.
