Sensemaking
意义建构（sensemaking），源自组织行为学家 Karl Weick 的理论，描述个体或组织在模糊、不确定、混乱的情境中如何迭代地组织信息，从而形成可指导行动的理解；在 HCI/CSCW 中常被用来分析危机情境下的工作实践与数据工作。
English Definition
"A theoretical perspective (originating with Karl Weick) describing how people in ambiguous, uncertain, or chaotic situations iteratively structure information to develop a plausible understanding that guides action; widely used in HCI/CSCW to study crisis, work practice, and data work."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
中文通常译为「意义建构」或「意义赋予」。注意它是动名词形式（sense-making），强调「建构过程」而非「意义」本身。在论文写作中常以 'informed by the sensemaking perspective' 等形式出现。
常见错误
- ·错写为 sense making（应写作 sensemaking 或 sense-making）
- ·误译为「感觉」或「直觉」——它强调认知层面的结构化过程
