1st Workshop on Learning and Teaching Conceptual Modeling (WLTCM)
Workshop Date: 31 October 2018 In conjunction with the 11th IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on the Practice of Enterprise Modelling (PoEM 2018) 31 October – 2 November, 2018, Vienna, Austria
Viewed as an activity, conceptual modeling involves an intricate array of cognitive processes and performed actions including: abstracting, conceptualizing, associating, contextualizing, interpreting & sense-making, judging & evaluating, drawing & visualizing; and, in group settings: communicating, discussing and agreeing. Learning conceptual modeling is, hence, a complex and challenging task for learners associated with codified as well as tacit knowledge and a learning process involving knowledge acquisition through experience (e.g., Sedrakyan G, Snoeck M (2017) Cognitive feedback and behavioral feedforward automation perspectives for modeling and validation in a learning context. Communications in Computer and Information Science 692:70–92). Teaching conceptual modeling is a likewise challenging task faced by didactic and practical challenges. Teaching and learning conceptual modeling are linked through theories of learning and methods of teaching which build upon fundamental assumptions about learning and the learning process (often discussed in reference to the broad classification of behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism).
The 1st Workshop on Learning and Teaching Conceptual Modeling at the PoEM Working Conference series provides a forum to exchange experiences on using and applying theories of teaching and learning when teaching conceptual modeling as well as novel ideas for teaching and learning conceptual modeling based on those theories, and to discuss research on teaching and learning conceptual modeling. Planned as a full day workshop with a highly interactive atmosphere, we seek to initiate constructive discussions and to foster in-workshop and post-workshop collaboration among participants.
The workshop entails invited talks / keynote presentations and is open for participation and contributed short talks, e.g., on teaching innovations, teaching experiences, and teaching tool presentations.
Call for short talks:
