Mary Beth Rosson, Professor, Stanford University
Over the past 25 years, user interface designers and usability engineers have studied and refined human-computer interaction techniques with the goal of improving people’s productivity and experience. But the target of these efforts — the end user — is fast becoming a thing of the past. Many…

Daniel Schwartz, Professor, Stanford University
Over the past years, we have been developing a computer learning technology called a Teachable Agent. The work leverages the common wisdom that people "really" learn when they have to teach. After a few years of positive results, we decided to get a better look at the mechanisms that drive…

Nathalie Sinclair, Professor, Simon Fraser University
I seek to establish insight into varieties of modeling that occur, recurrently, in students', teachers', and curriculum developers' experiences with The Geometer's Sketchpad. In this process, I attempt to contrast the conventional, practical sense of mathematical modeling-modeling of situations…

Nicholas Jackiw, Chief Technology Officer, KCP Technologies
In considering the geometric figure, Kant distinguishes between image--the traditional visual diagram--and schemata, the generalized concept of that diagram that "can never exist anywhere except in thought." Dynamic Geometry figures produced by software such as The Geometer's Sketchpad bridge…

Melanie Cooper, Professor, Clemson University
Problem solving is one of the most important goals of any science course. However it is notoriously difficult to improve students’ problem solving abilities, and many students never develop competence. This is particularly true for open-ended or case-based problems – which are also more difficult...

Chris Quintana, University of Michigan
Design is an inherently interdisciplinary enterprise and the design of learning technologies is no exception. Learning technology designers must consider issues from a range of disciplines, such as software design and human-computer interaction (HCI), learning sciences, and related content…

Ryan S.J.d. Baker, Learning Sciences Research Institute, University of Nottingham
Detecting and Adapting to When Students Game the System: Students use intelligent tutors and other types of interactive learning environments in a considerable variety of ways. In this talk, Dr. Ryan Baker will present research on automatically detecting and adapting to when students "game the...
-
Brian Smith, The Pennsylvania State University
Acts into Artifacts: Computational Tools to Support Experience Capture and Reflection: Dr. Smith’s research deals with the design and evaluation of systems that capture aspects of everyday experiences for reflection and learning. Dr. Smith will discuss a current project that examines ways to have...

Alison Castro, University of Michigan
Learning how to use mathematics curriculum materials effectively is arguably an important part of the work of teaching. Through my work on the BIFOCAL Project, a multi-year professional development project aimed at supporting middle school math teachers' use of curriculum materials, I began to...

Nicole Pinkard, University of Chicago
Closing the Participation Gap: Creating a Technical and Learning Infrastructure to Support the Analysis of the Impact of Ubiquitous Computing on Urban Youth
-
Flavio Azevedo, University of California Santa Cruz
Educators seeking to motivate students often do so by inquiring into students’ interests and designing instruction anchored in such interests. This approach is based on psychological theories of individual (long-term) interests, which propose that a person’s extended, self-motivated pursuit of...

Andrew Brantlinger, Northwestern University
Standards-based reforms in mathematics education place issues of equity front and center. Indeed, curriculum and instruction that is aligned with national standards appear to lead to more equitable outcomes for students (NCTM, 2000; Schoenfeld, 2002). However, many scholars argue that the reform...

Mike Stieff, University of California - Davis
Recent advancements in educational technologies have led to an explosion of visualization software for teaching and learning science, particularly chemistry. To varying degrees, visualization tools help teachers and students perceive the imperceptible objects and phenomena of the chemical world....
-
Eva Thanheiser, San Diego State University
Although preservice elementary school teachers (PSTs) have been shown to lack the understanding of multidigit whole numbers necessary to teach in ways that empower students mathematically, little is known about their conceptions. I draw upon the extensive research on children's understanding of...
-
Josh Radinsky, University of Illinois at Chicago
The term data visualization is often used to describe computer software or its products. I argue that learning sciences research can benefit from conceptualizing data visualization instead as a mode of shared sense-making, in which the co-construction of meaning is mediated by visual data...

Marcelle Siegel, UC San Francisco
Decisions, Decisions: Assessing Students' and Preservice Teachers' Use of Scientific Evidence
-
Joe Krajcik, University of Michigan
Scaffolding Students in Writing Evidence-Based Scientific Explanations: Developing evidence-based explanations is a critical aspect of science. Recent science reform documents and efforts advocate that students develop scientific inquiry practices, such as the construction and communication of...

Race, Identity, and Mathematics Literacy: African American Counternarratives
-
Yvonne Rogers
Geologists, biologists, climatologists, seismologists and other scientists nowadays use a diversity of sensing devices and measuring instruments to record aspects of the earth, in order to investigate, predict and reason about a particular aspect of the environment. A major part of their research...

Richard Halverson
Abstract Recent policy demands for external accountability are challenging instructional leaders to rethink how they have traditionally guided the practices of teaching and learning in schools. I will discuss how a new conception of instructional leadership is emerging across the country that...

Telling, adapting, and performing stories: How literacy meets identity
-
Deanna Kuhn, Columbia University
Kendler and Kendler (1962) are remembered for their bold challenge to the behaviorist tenet, widely accepted in the middle of the 20th century, that the learning process functions in an identical manner across species and across the human life cycle. To the contrary, they argued, learning…

Richard Anderson, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
American children usually find a free-flowing, open format approach to classroom discussion called Collaborative Reasoning to be intellectually stimulating and personally engaging. In this talk, I will present initial evidence about the response of the children from two sites in China and one…

Hilda Borko, University of Colorado - Boulder
Dr. Hilda Borko’s presentation focuses on the teacher professional development component of the STAAR project. STAAR – Supporting the Transition from Arithmetic to Algebraic Thinking – is a multi-year, multi-site research program funded through an IERI grant. The research team at the University…

Janet Kolodner, Georgia Institute of Technology
Ten years ago, I realized that case-based reasoning, an approach to designing computer programs that could reason based on their experiences, suggested ways of promoting productive learning in people. Based on that insight and on CBR's implied cognitive model, my research group and I have…

Jay L. Lemke, University of Michigan
Jay Lemke (Ph.D., University of Chicago) is Professor in the School of Education, Department of Educational Studies, at the University of Michigan and Co-Editor of the journal Critical Discourse Studies. Before coming to Michigan, he was Executive Officer of the Ph.D. Program in Urban Education…
