Role of Reflection in Customization Behaviors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reflecting on everyday behaviors is an effective method of enhancing them. In today’s world, many of these behaviors are mediated by technology. Therefore, making the enhancements resulting from reflection should be supported by the technology through customization. Customizable tools allow users to make changes and appropriate them to their needs. In this position paper, we discuss the importance of support for reflection in customizable tools, especially for tools that are used in everyday practices such as personal task management. Then, we discuss the challenges in designing for reflection including 1) how to identify evidence of reflection, when studying changes in behaviors involving the use of tools, and 2) how to evaluate customizable tools that encourage reflection, i.e. how to determine if customization is caused by reflection.

Using the Geometric Model to Explain the Longitudinal and Cross–Sectional Reflection Behaviors of Acrylic yarns
In the present work the reflection behavior and the color appearance of acrylic yarns, as pile yarns used in carpet and pilled fabrics, are considered along their lengths as well as their cross- sections. Differences between longitudinal and cross-sectional reflection behaviors of yarns are measured in different yarn densities and hues and explained by the geometric model. The results of experi...

متن کامل(Re) Making the Procrustean Bed? Standardization and Customization as Competing Logics in Healthcare
Recent years have witnessed a parallel and seemingly contradictory trend towards both the standardization and the customization of healthcare and medical treatment. Here, we explore what is meant by ‘standardization’ and ‘customization’ in healthcare settings and explore the implications of these changes for healthcare delivery. We frame the paradox of these divergent and opposing factors in te...
متن کاملBest of Both Worlds; Comment on “(Re) Making the Procrustean Bed? Standardization and Customization as Competing Logics in Healthcare”
This article builds on Mannion and Exworthy’s account of the tensions between standardization and customization within health services to explore why these tensions exist. It highlights the limitations of explanations which root them in an expression of managerialism versus professionalism and suggests that each logic is embedded in a set of ontological, epistemological and moral commitments wh...
متن کاملIt Takes Two to Tango: Customization and Standardization as Colluding Logics in Healthcare; Comment on “(Re) Making the Procrustean Bed Standardization and Customization as Competing Logics in Healthcare”
The healthcare context is characterized with new developments, technologies, ideas and expectations that are continually reshaping the frontline of care delivery. Mannion and Exworthy identify two key factors driving this complexity, ‘standardization’ and ‘customization,’ and their apparent resulting paradox to be negotiated by healthcare professionals, managers and policy makers. However, whil...
