- W1837149402 abstract "Few studies have investigated the credibility of computer simulations, from the user’s perspective. This thesis tackles the credibility question, construed as inextricably linked to the judgments of actors who deal with simulations. The theoretical part of this work consists in a typology of credibility-related judgments pertaining to various media . This analysis leads to the development of a judgment construct applying specifically to interactive simulation, and based on the notion of verisimilitude, the quality of appearing true or real. The empirical part is an exploratory study that investigated the perceptions of potential users of a simulation-based learning environment (the VPLab). This study aimed to show the pertinence of verisimilitude in examining credibility discourse, and to explore themes for future research. Its specific objectives were to uncover: (1) users’ preoccupations and representations relating to the VPLab’s verisimilitude, (2) the cues enabling users to make judgments about the VPLab, and (3) the roles played by such cues in the expression of judgments. Following a qualitative and descriptive approach, the investigation included in-depth interviews with thirteen university science students. As part of the results, several varied research themes were developed and the complex nature of user verisimilitude judgments was highlighted. Furthermore, connections appeared between these judgments and individual traits of users, such as prior use of certain computer applications. The influence of various aspects of the environment on its verisimilitude was also considered. ----- [Version francaise] ---->>>> Peu d’ouvrages traitent de la credibilite des simulations informatiques, du point de vue de leurs utilisateurs. Ce memoire examine cette question sous l’angle des jugements de divers acteurs concernes par ces technologies. Son volet theorique definit une typologie de jugements associes a la credibilite de divers media et propose un concept de jugement propre aux simulations interactives, fonde sur la notion de vraisemblance. Son volet empirique consiste en une etude exploratoire des perceptions des utilisateurs potentiels d’un environnement d’apprentissage fonde sur la simulation (le laboratoire virtuel de physique). Cette etude visait a demontrer la pertinence du concept de jugement de vraisemblance dans l’analyse de discours traitant de credibilite, et a explorer des pistes de recherche future dans ce domaine. Les objectifs specifiques de l’etude etaient de mettre au jour (1) les preoccupations et representations des utilisateurs a l’egard de la vraisemblance de l’environnement, (2) les reperes sur lesquels ils s’appuient pour poser des jugements et (3) les roles que jouent ces reperes dans ceux-ci. L’approche qualitative et descriptive retenue s’appuyait principalement sur des entrevues en profondeur aupres de treize etudiants universitaires. L’etude a permis d’explorer de nombreux themes de recherche inedits; ses resultats ont mis en relief le caractere complexe des jugements et fait apparaitre des relations entre ces derniers et des caracteristiques des utilisateurs, telles que leurs antecedents en matiere d’usage d’applications informatiques. L’influence de divers elements ou caracteristiques de l’environnement sur les jugements a egalement ete examinee." @default.
