Lingobee Simply speaking, awareness is ‘knowing what’s going on’ (Endsley, 1995). The term awareness came to be when researchers discovered an interesting aspect of human collaboration. Actors seemed to be monitoring their collaborative surroundings, and worked in a way that did not disturb their colleagues (Harper, Hughes, & Shapiro, The Functionality of Flight Strips in ATC Work. The report for the Civil Aviation Authoroty, 1998), (Harper, Hughes, & Shapiro, Working in harmony: An examination of computer technology in air traffic control , 1989), (Heath & Luff, 1991). That meant not asking questions, reminding or suggesting thoughts to their colleagues unless they perceived them to be available, while they themselves made sure to display signs of availability to other actors when that was the case. Because of these observations, awareness was considered to be the situation where actors take heed of the context of their joint effort (Schmidt, 2002).
