In: CONCURSO DE TRABALHOS DE INICIAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA – SIMPÓSIO BRASILEIRO DE SISTEMAS MULTIMÍDIA E WEB (WEBMEDIA), 31. , 2025, Rio de Janeiro/RJ. Anais […]. Porto Alegre: Sociedade Brasileira de Computação, 2025 . p. 57-60. ISSN 2596-1683. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5753/webmedia_estendido.2025.16337.

Abstract: Searching the Web is increasingly recognized as a process of knowledge construction rather than simple information retrieval, a perspective framed by the paradigm of Searching as Learning (SaL). A central challenge in this domain lies in evaluating the extent to which users actually acquire knowledge during search. Traditional approaches either rely on behavioral proxies, scalable but limited in capturing conceptual change, or structured assessments, which provide direct evidence but are often intrusive. The Degree of Knowledge Gain (DKG) metric addresses this gap by modeling reductions in uncertainty through Shannon’s entropy and integrating semantic similarity between queries and clicked documents. This paper reports on the operationalization of DKG within the CNPq project 3C-BPA: Comportamento de busca, Complexidade da informação e pensamento Crítico na Busca como um Processo de Aprendizagem. Two artifacts were developed: an initial search engine prototype embedding DKG computation, and a Chrome extension that estimates DKG in real time while users employ their preferred search engines. The latter artifact overcame earlier limitations by improving ecological validity, reducing costs, and enabling more natural experimentation. An experiment combined pre- and post-tests, the Concurrent Think-Aloud (CTA) protocol, and the plug-in’s automated logging. Preliminary findings show that DKG values are sensitive to differences in search strategies, with systematic reformulation and evaluation aligning with greater knowledge gains, while disorientation behaviors corresponded to more modest outcomes. A distinctive feature of this study was the active role of an undergraduate researcher, who contributed to artifact development, experiment setup, participant support, transcription, and ongoing content analysis.

Abstract: Generative AI tools, exemplified by ChatGPT, are transforming the way users interact with information by enabling dialogue-based querying instead of traditional keyword searches. While this conversational approach can simplify user interactions, it also presents challenges in structuring effective searches, refining prompts, and verifying AI-generated content. This study addresses these complexities by repurposing traditional search tactics for use in conversational AI environments, specifically to support the Searching as Learning (SaL) paradigm. Forty-five adapted tactics are introduced to aid users in defining information needs, refining queries, and evaluating ChatGPT’s responses for relevance, utility, and reliability. Using the Efficient Search Tactic Identification (ESTI) method and constant comparison analysis, these tactics were mapped into a stratified model with seven categories. The framework provides a structured approach for users to leverage conversational agents more effectively, promoting critical thinking and iterative learning. This research underscores the importance of developing robust search strategies tailored to conversational AI environments, facilitating deeper learning and reflective information engagement. Additionally, it highlights the need for ongoing research into the design and evaluation of future chat-and-search systems.

Abstract: Searches with learning intent typically require the users to interact with the searching environment and perform knowledge acquisition features such as scan, read, and process the online content to fulfill their information needs. To capture indicators from searching behaviors that could account for the knowledge gained during a Web search, a qualitative study was performed using the Concurrent Think-Aloud protocol to observe the mechanisms of transfer and map knowledge flows during 78 search sessions. Findings indicate evidence of transfer of learning in the form of sixteen online information searching strategy indicators. This research aids the understanding of how knowledge is gained during search sessions and how to identify behaviors that could indicate that learning has occurred, which could be used to represent knowledge gain on Web search engines. In this way, it can aid search engines to become not only better tools of searching, but also tools of learning.

Abstract: Web searching and knowledge gain are intertwined processes that share mental and physical activities at the core of both human cognition and hypertext theory, such as identifying, comparing, linking, and combining different subsets of existing or new information. As a consequence of the improvement of our ability to retrieve information across multiple sources provided by Web search engines, the necessity to understand how a user’s knowledge evolves through a Web search session increased. Previous works focused on understanding the knowledge gained in Web searches by using think-aloud protocols. From the user’s verbalization of her searching procedures, it is possible to identify her cognitive processing. Notwithstanding, we argue that user’s searching and browsing behaviors should be analyzed not only through the verbalization periods, as usually accepted by think-aloud studies, since not all cognitive decisions are made consciously, some are unconscious or subconscious. Hence, it is possible to identify more knowledge gained than it would be attainable focusing solely on what was verbalized. In this sense, we evaluated the statistical significance level derived from the relationship between verbal and non-verbal search periods mapped from online information searching strategy indicators. Then, we identified a positive association regarding non-verbalization and some indicators related to knowledge gain concepts and discovered that the values of non-verbal periods tend to increase as the values of particular indicators related to knowledge gain also increase. The knowledge gain concepts were identified using constructs representing cognitive absorption, comprehension, elaboration, and memory. Concerning the impact of Think-Aloud on knowledge gain processes, we found out that verbalization does affect how participants handle their search tasks. However, our result also showed a predominance of non-verbal periods during metacognitive-based searching activities, which may indicate that Think-Aloud protocols should not only rely on verbalization for indication of knowledge gain. Although verbalization may not disrupt the thought process, it might cut in on the cognitive process as the participant tries to explain her action while performing it. A search engine could use the identified indicators to account for the knowledge gained during search sessions, which would make it more adapted to identify user information needs and promote personalized information-adding.

Abstract: This paper provides an understanding of the knowledge flow in exploratory Web searches. Based on the Design Science Research epistemology, we represented the information-gathering behaviour and uncovered the knowledge flow of Web searchers as a Knowledge-intensive Process (KiP). By mapping searchers’ steps and paths during Web searches, representing their search patterns and decision-making process, it was possible to reveal the knowledge flow and infer the resources more likely to be selected to meet the searchers’ information needs. With the help of six teachers, we applied the Think-Aloud method in a scenario where they searched for online (educational) resources on the Web. The application of the Think-Aloud method made knowledge-flow processes explicit throughout Web searches. The results can support new strategies for information retrieval systems and be applied to support expertise exchange and innovation.

Association for Computing Machinery, New York, NY, USA, Article 5, 1–8. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1145/3466933.3466938

Abstract: This paper presents the identification of people’s behavioral changes during the Covid-19 pandemic period by analyzing the terms searched on Google’s Trend and news. We developed an artifact, called CovidTrends, used the DSR (Design Science Research) epistemological approach, the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), and the document analysis method to list infodemic or people’s behavioral trending of interest on Google and correlating them to news within the timeframe in which the terms’ queries peaked. CovidTrends enabled the identification of three main behaviors, which we verified on news reporting in the media. Then, it proves to be appropriate to support data analysis and identify people’s pandemic behavior.

Abstract: To better understand users’ intent, Web search engines need to transcend its information sorter utility and acquire a more relevant ability concerning semantics’ discernment. This master thesis presents the Exploratory Search KiP model, which helps clarify the reasons why a subject is searched and supports the visualization of decision criteria used for choosing a specific search result. It also introduces the ESKiP Taxonomy of Query States; a classification framework that helps to represent the structure and behavior of query reformulation in search systems. As a result, the artifacts allowed to identify Web search and query reformulation patterns. The Exploratory Search KiP model also aided to distinguish three main behaviors involved in exploratory searches: (1) The ability to increase the level of familiarity with the topic and content searched (topic familiarity); (2) The ability to control the search process itself; and (3) The ability to assess the retrieved information relevance.

In XVI Brazilian Symposium on Information Systems (SBSI’20), November 3–6, 2020, São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. ACM, New York, NY, USA 7 Pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/3411564.3411611

Abstract: As the amount of information grows exponentially online, Information Systems role in support knowledge flows encouraged by linked data increases as a driver to innovation, culture, business practices and people behavior. Web search engines are particularly affected by the open world challenges, notably as part of the growing digital ecosystems of networks and platforms of technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) companies delivering personalized and customized services (e.g. Amazon in retailing, Uber in ride service hailing, food delivery, and bicycle-sharing system, and Airbnb in lodging). To recognize search intent drawn from user’s behavior allows to provide personalized search results. The work presented in this paper has the purpose of exploring methods to represent semantic relationships between concepts indexed by Web search engines in order to aid them recognize search intent and display results that meet the search intent. The performance of two different types of data structures based on entity-centric indexing was compared. The data structures were: a knowledge base that used an entity-centric mapping of Wikipedia categories and the KBpedia Knowledge Graph. Through analysis of entity ranking and linking, we detected that the Knowledge Graph could identify approximately three times more properties and relationships, which increases Web search engines capability to “understand” what is being asked.

Abstract: Although many learning activities involve search engines, their ranking criteria are focused on providing factual rather than procedural information. In the context of Searching as Learning, providing factual information may not be the best approach. In this paper, we discuss the relevance criteria according to traditional learning theories to support search engine results reordering based on content suitability to learning purposes. We proceeded on the investigation by selecting some self-proclaimed search literacy experts to answer thoroughly questions about their views on the reordered results. We take into account that literacy expert’s judgment may reveal issues regarded to technical side on learning supported by search tools. Experienced users claimed a preference for reliable sources and direct answers to what they are looking for, as they have exploratory skills to overcome information incompleteness.

Abstract: Searching the web with learning intent, known as Searching as Learning (SaL), consists on learners to use Web search engines as a technology to drive their learning process. However, it may be difficult to users to find out relevant information online due to an inability to accurately specify their information need, a situation known as Anomalous State of Knowledge (ASK). To minimize the ASK situation, the continuous flow of data gathering and interaction between user and the search results could be used by search engines to tailor learning-intent search experience. It requires Web search engines to identify such intent and they may use linked data, Knowledge Bases and Graph Databases in order to recognize the meaning of query terms and keywords and use them to predict learning intent. In order to explore the possibility of semantic data structures to represent knowledge that could aid a learning-driven Web search engine to recognize learning intention from user’s queries, the present paper compared the performance of two different types of data structures based on entity-centric indexing to identify properties and semantic relationships. One was a knowledge base that used a entity-centric mapping of Wikipedia categories and the other was the KBpedia Knowledge Graph. The entity ranking and linking of both were analyzed and we discovered that the knowledge graph could identify about three times more properties and relationships.

Abstract: As ferramentas de busca podem auxiliar as pessoas na condução de tarefas de aprendizagem informal, contudo os critérios usados para o ranqueamento de seus resultados estão voltados a prover respostas factuais e pouco processuais. Neste contexto, este artigo apresenta critérios de relevância, baseados em teorias de aprendizagem, para apoiar uma reordenação dos resultados da busca quando há intenção de aprendizado. Para avaliar a aplicabilidade da proposta, foi utilizado um questionário contendo um comparativo entre exemplos de páginas de resultado de busca da Google e sua versão modificada. A pesquisa evidenciou que o resultado reordenado foi melhor aceito, sobretudo por aqueles que possuem maior habilidade de busca. Isto pode ser um indicativo de que reorganizar o resultado de buscas com base em teorias de aprendizagem pode apoiar a aprendizagem informal.

Abstract: Web search engines have gained importance as tools capable of connecting informal and self-learning with formal learning by aiding individuals in retrieving relevant information through the formulation and modification of their queries. Understand the differences between query states and their transitions becomes increasingly important, as doing so makes the optimization of search engines’ results according to educational uses and needs possible. This paper introduces the ESKiP Taxonomy of Query States, a classification framework validated in an experiment involving two different query log datasets. It enables the comparison between the behaviors of users in search for knowledge (learners) and users performing transactional or factual searches in Web search engines.

Estamos em uma nova era da história da humanidade, saímos da Idade Contemporânea e entramos na Idade do Conhecimento. Ela se define por um fato muito simples, é cada vez mais fácil gerar algum tipo de conhecimento e distribuí-lo. Portanto, as pessoas, empresas e países que irão se destacar, serão aquelas que criarem consistentemente propriedade intelectual, conhecimento aplicável. Ao contrário do que se possa imaginar, o que vai crescer não é o conceito do Gerenciamento de Conhecimento e sim o da Conexão do Conhecimento, mesmo porque conhecimento não se gerencia, se difunde. O fato é que uma pessoa só vai compartilhar a sua experiência, que é o que a faz importante individualmente, se achar que vai contribuir e muito para a sua vida. E outra pessoa só vai querer aprender o conhecimento compartilhado por alguém, se este for relevante pra ela. Isso é Conexão e é sobre ela que se trata este livro.
