CAP: CSCL 2015 Doctoral Consortium and Early Career Workshop

学习科学是一个利用多种理论观点和研究范式的跨学科领域，目的是在正规和非正规教育环境中促进关于人类学习和发展的知识和知识的应用。在国际研究界的背景下，支持最优秀的年轻美国学者能够分享他们的想法并向社区学习是至关重要的，特别是因为初级学者最有可能与参与成本作斗争。这项提议支持美国学生和博士后学者参加国际学习科学学会年会的博士联盟和早期职业研讨会，该年会在2015年是将在瑞典哥德堡举行的计算机支持的协作学习会议。结合该领域的旗舰会议组织研讨会，使研讨会参与者进一步接触到新的研究、该领域的其他研究人员和未来的雇主，并以新的面孔和想法重振社区。学习科学的研究人员试图了解学习、认知、发展的性质和条件，以及人类行为的相关领域，他们调查认知的物质、社会和文化背景。学习科学研究的目的是开发基于证据的声明，说明人们是如何学习的，具有理论、实践和教学意义。能力建设是学习科学界关注的一个中心问题。国际学习科学学会在美国、欧盟和亚太地区的区域研究资助者的多边财政支持下，通过与学会两次主要会议同时举办的专门讲习班，部分地解决了这些需求。博士联盟的研讨会接待了正在努力进行论文研究的博士生，而早期职业研讨会则是为正在塑造职业道路的新近博士(博士后、早期终身教职教师和其他人)设计的。这笔赠款为通过竞争性申请程序挑选出来参加这些活动的美国学者提供旅行支持。他们的工作与国际专家导师小组的反馈一起在活动的背景下提交以供反馈，并在会议纪要上发表。

The Learning Sciences is an interdisciplinary field that draws on multiple theoretical perspectives and research paradigms, with the goal of advancing knowledge and the application of knowledge about human learning and development in formal and informal educational settings. Within the context of an international research community, it is essential to support the best young US scholars to be able to share their ideas and learn from the community, especially since junior scholars are most likely to struggle with the costs of participation. This proposal supports participation of US students and postdoctoral scholars in the Doctoral Consortium and Early Career Workshop at the annual meeting of the International Society of the Learning Sciences, which in 2015 is the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Conference, to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden. Organizing the workshops in conjunction with the flagship conferences in the field gives the workshop participants further access to new research, other researchers in the field and prospective employers, and revitalizes the community with fresh faces and ideas.Researchers in the learning sciences attempt to understand the nature and conditions of learning, cognition, development, and related areas of human performance, and they investigate cognition in its material, social, and cultural contexts. The intention of learning science research is to develop evidence-based claims about how people learn that have theoretical, practical, and pedagogical implications. Capacity building is a central concern within the Learning Sciences community. The International Society for the Learning Sciences has historically addressed these needs, in part, through specialized workshops held in conjunction with the Society's two major conferences, with multilateral financial support from regional research funders in the US, the EU, and Asia/Pacific regions. The Doctoral Consortium workshops host PhD students who are grappling with their dissertation research, while the Early Career workshops are designed for recent PhDs (post-docs, faculty in early tenure track, and others) who are shaping career paths. This grant provides travel support to US scholars selected through a competitive application process to participate in these events. Their work is presented for feedback in the context of the events with feedback from an international panel of expert mentors, and published in the proceedings of the conference.
