Although the Internet is an increasingly core resource for such problem-solving, the competencies which support leveraging technology for problem-solving are not well understood. Effective use of online resources depends upon a complex of individual differences including ability and non-ability traits, the accumulation of relevant knowledge and skills, and the use of adaptive strategic approaches during interactions with technological resources. I refer to this as technological fluency, a trait complex which describes individuals\u2019 propensity (i.e., ability\/willingness) to leverage technological resources to solve real-world problems. I propose to conduct an empirical study assessing individual differences in\/psychological predictors of technological fluency, which will make three primary contributions. First, the delineation of this construct constitutes a theoretical contribution to the literature on real-world problem-solving performance, which is particularly important as informational technology resources continue to be integral to 21st century work and adult life. A criterion measure of technological fluency will be designed to avoid task-based, technology-based, or scoring limitations of assessments previously used to assess conceptually related constructs such as digital literacy. Second, I will develop\/adapt a novel set of individual-difference measures representing learners\u2019 strategic approaches to engaging online resources during problem-solving. Finally, I will demonstrate the utility of these measures for predicting individual differences in technological fluency above and beyond traditional approaches to predicting task performance.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EDistal Trait and Proximal Strategic Predictors of Technological Fluency\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Distal Trait and Proximal Strategic Predictors of Technological Fluency  "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2023-12-08 21:55:09","changed_gmt":"2023-12-08 21:55:09","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-01-10T15:15:54-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-01-10T17:15:54-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-01-10T17:15:54-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-01-10 20:15:54","gmt_time_end":"2024-01-10 22:15:54","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-01-10 22:15:54","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Virtual","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
