The Link Between Information Technology Research and Education, Teaching and Learning; Menlo Park, CA; March 4-7, 2002

EIA 0211008 Sabelli，NoraSRI International标题：信息技术研究与教育、教学和学习之间的联系这项提案的首席调查员(PI)正在为2002年3月初的一项活动寻求支持，该活动包括ITR获奖者的首席调查员会议和学习技术方面的高级研究人员和年轻研究人员研讨会。这次活动的目的是反思学习技术领域的经验、文化和研究社区，以形成想法，为2002财年以CISE为重点的学习技术倡议提供信息。与许多最近获得ITR、CRLT、LIS和KDI奖项的获奖者的交谈和观察表明，在新兴的学习技术领域，研究人员和从业者的社区建设涉及一种默会知识。通常，随着项目的成熟，这种隐性知识变得明显起来，因此，在提交建议书时，研究和获取这些知识可能是不合理的。由于学习技术具有如此强大的实践线索，从理论建设和研究中获得的默会知识应该会指导实践，以减少研究和理论进入现实世界学习环境所需的时间。有理由相信，拟议中的活动将提供一个亟需的场所来讨论这种默会知识，以及CISE在扩大学习技术的研究和实践中应该发挥的作用。合作、反思和反思、利益相关者的多样性和长期可持续性是一些预计将在模拟、可视化和建模；远程和在线学习；嵌入学习评估和分析学习者数据；文化、认知和社会动态；以及虚拟实验室和远程仪器的背景下探讨的主题。我强烈建议为该提案提供125,000美元的资金。

EIA 0211008Sabelli, NoraSRI InternationalTitle: The Link Between Information Technology Research and Education, Teaching and LearningThe principal investigator (PI) of this proposal is seeking support for an event in early March 2002 that is a combination of a principal investigator's meeting for ITR awardees and a workshop for senior researchers and young investigators in learning technologies. The purpose of the event is to reflect upon the experiences, culture, and community of research in the learning technologies to develop ideas that would inform a CISE-focused learning technology initiative in FY 2002.Conversations with and observations of many recent ITR, CRLT, LIS, and KDI awardees have revealed that there is a kind of tacit knowledge involved in building communities of researchers and practitioners in the emerging learning technology field. Often, such tacit knowledge becomes apparent as a project matures and thus its study and capture may be unjustified at the time of proposal submission. Since learning technology has such strong practical threads, tacit knowledge gained from theory building and research should inform practice to reduce the time required for research and theories to find their way into real-world learning environments.There is reason to believe that the event as proposed will offer a much needed venue to discuss this tacit knowledge and the role CISE should have in expanding research and practice in learning technology. Collaboration, reflection and introspection, diversity of stakeholders, and long-term sustainability are some of the topics expected to be explored within the contexts of simulation, visualization, and modeling; distance and online learning; embedding learning assessment and analyzing learner data; cultural, cognitive, and social dynamics; and virtual laboratories and remote instrumentation.I strongly recommend that the proposal be funded the level of $125,000.
