Computer-Based Learning Environments for Deep Learning in Inquiry and Problem-Solving Contexts

http://kmel-lab.org/website/deeperlearning.html

An Workshop at the 12th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) 2016, Singapore

https://www.isls.org/icls/2016/preconferencesessions.html

Organizers:

Minhong (Maggie) Wang, University of Hong Kong,

Paul A. Kirschner, Open University of the Netherlands,

Susan M. Bridges, University of Hong Kong

Description:

Learning through inquiry and problem solving, especially with authentic whole-task experience has been widely promoted in educational practice, and more recently in computer-based learning environments. Effective learning with real-world problems and authentic tasks, however, is not easy to realize because it often involves complex cognitive processes. While such complexity can overburden learners, instructors and other experts often underestimate this as the requisite processes have become largely automated for them due to their experience and expertise. This half-day workshop is intended to provide a platform for researchers to share: 1) their studies and findings about how deep learning in inquiry, problem-solving, and whole-task contexts can be empowered through effective design and implementation of computer-based learning environments, and appropriate analysis of learning in such environments; 2) the challenges they experienced in conducting such design-based research (e.g., methodological complexity, extended research process, need for domain knowledge, and commitment to advancing both theory and practice); and 3)useful strategies to deal with the challenges.

Participation:

Open to all. Key contributors will be invited to submit a short paper (1,500-2,000 words) outlining the three sharing-points above in a Word file to Maggie Wang (magwang@hku.hk). The paper should include title, abstract, own research results (point 1), experienced challenges (point 2), main strategies (point 3), conclusions, and references.

Pre-workshop activities (for contributors):

March 30, 2016: Submission of short papers due

April 14, 2016: Acceptance notifications

May 15, 2016: 3 slides to be sent to organizers

Registration at the workshop ( https://www.isls.org/icls/2016/registrationrate.html)

June 21, 2016: workshop (9:00am-12:30pm)

Workshop agenda:

The workshop will include short presentations by key contributors to share findings and key messages; small-group discussion by contributors and other participants on key questions, challenges, and strategies; and whole-group discussion to summarize key issues and pragmatic approaches.

Workshop outcomes:

The papers will be published in separate proceedings of the workshop that will be available at the Workshop’s website ( http://kmel-lab.org/website/deeperlearning.html).

With the ultimate aim of improving situated learning with technology support, the workshop will help generate a summary of pragmatic approaches for design and analysis of inquiry, problem-solving, and whole-task oriented learning in computer-based environments, to be shared among a broader community, possibly via a special issue of a scientific journal.

Post-workshop activities:

Plans will be made during the workshop to decide on next steps towards publication in special issue.

Participants interested in presenting their work during this workshop may contact Minhong (Maggie) Wang, magwang@hku.hk
