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

标题：信息技术研究与教育、教学和学习之间的联系该提案的首席研究员（PI）正在为2002年3月初的一个活动寻求支持，该活动是ITR获奖者的首席研究员会议和学习技术的高级研究人员和年轻研究人员研讨会的结合。该活动的目的是反思学习技术研究的经验、文化和社区，以发展思想，为2002财年以cise为重点的学习技术倡议提供信息。与许多最近的ITR、CRLT、LIS和KDI获奖者的交谈和观察表明，在新兴的学习技术领域中，有一种隐性知识涉及到建立研究人员和实践者社区。通常，随着项目的成熟，这种隐性知识变得明显，因此在提案提交时，它的研究和获取可能是不合理的。由于学习技术具有很强的实践性，从理论构建和研究中获得的隐性知识应该为实践提供信息，以减少研究和理论进入现实学习环境所需的时间。我们有理由相信，拟议中的活动将提供一个非常需要的场所来讨论这种隐性知识，以及CISE在扩大学习技术的研究和实践方面应该发挥的作用。协作、反思和自省、利益相关者的多样性和长期可持续性是在仿真、可视化和建模的背景下有望探讨的一些主题；远程和在线学习；嵌入学习评估与学习者数据分析文化、认知和社会动态；以及虚拟实验室和远程仪器。我强烈建议为这项提议提供$125 000的经费。

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.
