EAGER: Infusing Learning Sciences Research into Digital Fabrication and Making in Education

在这个网络学习：转变教育渴望的项目中，PI为教育工作者、政策制定者、学生、设计师、研究人员和决策者提出了一个研究计划和一系列活动，以介绍、讨论、调查和了解教育中的数字制造。数字编造和制作是将强大的想法和富有表现力的媒体带给学龄儿童的过程中的新篇章。然而，在教室里发生的这种创造通常与人们所知的从这种创造中促进学习的事情脱节。国际和平协会正在组织一系列活动，旨在更好地了解需要什么，以便教师能够更好地利用开展活动来促进学习，以及需要进行哪些研究和开发才能满足这些需求。活动包括(1)会议，作为利益相关者(包括教育工作者、学生、研究人员和其他人)介绍、讨论和学习数字制作、围绕数字制作的文化以及从制作中学习的知识的场所；(2)暑期学院，帮助教师加深制作技能，了解更多关于学习和评估的知识；(3)研究峰会，分享发现，接收反馈，并发展合作；以及(4)支持教师活动规划和课程开发的伙伴计划。在整个过程中，PI和团队将做笔记并召开讨论，着眼于制定一项研究议程，围绕在设计和制造活动的背景下促进课堂学习。

In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education EAGER project, the PI proposes a research program and set of events for educators, policy makers, students, designers, researchers, and makers to present, discuss, investigate, and learn about digital fabrication in education. Digital fabrication and "making" is a new chapter in the process of bringing powerful ideas and expressive media to schoolchildren. Yet the making that happens in classrooms is usually disconnected from what is known about promoting learning from such making. The PI is organizing a series of activities aimed at better understanding what is needed so that teachers will be better able to use making activities to promote learning and what research and development needs to be done to meet those needs. Activities include (1) a conference as a venue for stakeholders (including educators, students, researchers, and others) to present, discuss, and learn about digital fabrication, the culture around it, and what is known about learning from making; (2) a summer institute that would help teachers deepen their fabrication skills and learn more about learning and assessment; (3) a research summit to share findings, receive feedback, and develop collaborations; and (4) a fellow program to support teachers in activity planning and curriculum development. Throughout, the PI and team will be taking notes and convening discussions with an eye toward formulating a research agenda around promoting learning in classrooms in the context of design and fabrication activities.
