论文写作情境下科研新手信息搜索需求及动机变化研究

A Study on the Changes of Novice Researchers’ Information Search Demand and Motivations in the Thesis Writing Context

[目的/意义]文章基于信息搜索过程模型,结合论文写作情境,揭示了科研新手在信息搜索过程中对信息类型、相关性需求以及搜索需求动机的变化情况,为信息检索系统个性化服务优化与高校研究素养教育提升提供参考。[方法/过程]研究采用半结构化深度访谈,对20名科研新手进行数据采集,采用开放式编码析出科研信息搜索需求及动机,并通过信息类型—搜索需求动机、相关性需求—研究型动机两个矩阵分析它们的变化及关系。[结果/结论]科研新手对信息类型与相关性需求会随着任务的阶段产生变化;科研新手的搜索需求动机可分为研究型动机、投机型动机、减少不确定性动机和情感型动机;在信息搜索的不同阶段,科研新手的信息搜索需求与需求动机各有侧重点。

[Purpose/significance] Based on the information search model,combined with the task of thesis writing,this paper reveals the changes of novice researchers' information search demand and motivations in the process of information search,including the types of information,relevance requirements and search demand motivation.This research can provide a basis for optimizing the personalized service of information retrieval system and improving research literacy education in universities.[Method/process] The study used semi-structured in-depth interviews to conduct data on twenty novice researchers.The information search demand and motivations were analyzed through open coding.Then the matrices of information type-search demand motivation and relevance requirement-research-based motivation were constructed to reveal the changes.[Result/conclusion] A novice researcher's demand to information type and relevance change with the different stages of the thesis writing task.Research-based,speculative,uncertainty-reduction,and emotional motivations can all be categorized as reasons why novice researchers search for information.The search demand and motivation of novice researchers have their own focus in various stages of information search.
