Abstract:
More the technologies being developed and used, more the problems spanning in many technical fields occur. Interdisciplinary communication is suitable to solve such problems, however the education fostering this approach is still insufficient. The purpose of this study is developing the interface to support the awareness of specialization so that we provide an effective interdisciplinary communication education for participants. Towards the goal, we utilize transition of speakers' specializations following turn-taking as ``patterns". To support awareness of specialization, this study focus on the rate at which participants recognize other experts' specialization and specify the patterns when the awareness of specialization is easy to obtain. We perform the experiments to 16 participants and analyze it based on quantity and accuracy of information to ascertain the effect of a proposed pattern. Our results show that proposed pattern can give information at the rate of about 50% and support participants' recognition of other experts' specialization. From this result, our results of experiment show that proposed pattern can support participants' recognition of other experts' specialization. Based on this result, we propose an interface that shows when proposed patterns are likely to create chances to perceive specialization.
