Mind-wandering consists of the process of thinking task-unrelated thoughts (TUT) during task performance. In a task-oriented group, the subject and the subject matter of team members’ mindwandering episodes are of critical interest to the team's performance. However, many writers suggested that mind-wandering may be more common in some circumstances than others. Understanding the social-psychological factors that precipitate mind-wandering in a technological setting is necessary because mind-wandering influences numerous outcomes connected with taskoriented groups. Therefore, this paper aims to explore whether certain social-psychological factors predict self-reported engagement behavior in a number of TUT in the assessment of attitudes. Specifically, our objectives are to put in place behavioral experience sampling methodologies and probe-caught methodologies for measuring online mind-wandering. We intend to design a set of virtual teams using laboratory experiments followed by survey. Our study aims to add to the body of research on virtual teams and mind-wandering by determining the relation between attitude, social factors, and emotions of team members and self-reported engagement in TUT.

이 연구에서는 과제 지향 보상 협동학습에서 소집단 활동 점검 과정이 학업 성취도, 학습 동기, 과학 수업에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 서울에 있는 중학교 2학년 58명을 처치 집단과 비교 집단으로 무선 할당한 후, "혼합물의 분리" 단원에 대하여 8차시 동안 수업하였다. 처치 집단에는 소집단 활동 점검 과정이 있는 과제 지향 보상 협동학습(GCL)을 실시하였고, 비교 집단에는 소집단 활동 점검 과정이 없는 과제 지향 보상 협동 학습(CL)을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 학업 성취도와 과학 수업에 대한 태도에서 수업 처치와 사전 성취 수준 사이에 상호작용 효과가 있었다. 상위 수준 학생들은 GCL 집단에서 학업 성취도와 태도에서 더 높은 점수를 받았으며, 하위 수준 학생들은 CL 집단에서 성취도와 태도에서 더 높은 점수를 나타냈다.

This study investigated the effects of group processing in cooperative learning using task-oriented reward on students' science achievement, science learning motivation, and attitude toward science instruction. Eighth graders (N=58) selected from a middle school in Seoul, were randomly assigned to either the treatment or comparison group, and taught on the 'Separation of Mixture' over 8 class hours. The treatment group received cooperative learning using task-oriented reward containing group processing (GCL), while the comparison group received cooperative learning using task-oriented reward without group processing (CL). Significant interactions between the instruction and prior achievement level were found in the achievement and the attitude toward science instruction. High-level students in the GCL group performed better than those in the CL group, while low-level students in the CL group performed better than their counterparts.
