CAP: Support for Young Researchers to attend the International Intelligent Tutoring Systems Conference 2012

智能辅导系统国际会议（ITS）为围绕计算机科学在教育和人类学习中的应用交流思想提供了一个论坛。会议上的演讲重点是围绕设计和使用交互式和自适应学习技术的发展和严格研究，这些技术适用于所有年龄段的学习者，涵盖学校课程的主题，以及工业、军事和医学的专业应用。这些会议促进了来自几个网络学习相关领域的信息和思想的交流，这些领域包括：人工智能、认知科学、教育、学习科学、人机交互、教育技术、心理学和STEM学科。该项目将支持来自美国大学的高级研究生参加2012年6月15日至18日在希腊克里特岛的哈尼亚举行的第11届智能辅导系统国际会议（ITS） （http://its2012.teicrete.gr）。这些高级研究生将参加会议的青年研究专场。该项目旨在为年轻研究人员提供他们在本国机构之外的指导，帮助他们从研究生院过渡到富有成效的研究生涯。青年研究人员活动包括结构化的海报会议，学生在其中展示他们的工作，并在整个会议期间由ITS社区的高级成员进行一对一的指导，该成员与年轻研究人员有共同的研究兴趣，来自不同的大学，并且具有不同于年轻研究人员在其家乡机构的经验。预计同行之间以及导师和学员之间的对话将贯穿每个年轻研究人员的整个职业生涯。这项活动支持了美国国家科学基金会培养更多科学、技术、工程和数学方面的高级专业人才的使命。本次会议的独特之处在于其综合和交叉施肥了三个STEM能力：建立尖端的学习技术，研究基于认知、社会和学习科学的理论教学方法，并严格测试学习环境在促进K-12、大学和工作场所人群学习（在STEM学科和其他学科）方面的有效性。

The International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provides a forum for interchange of ideas around the applications of computer science to education and human learning. Presentations at the conference focus on developments and rigorous research around the design and use of interactive and adaptive learning technologies for learners of all ages, for subject matters that span the school curriculum, and for professional applications in industry, the military, and medicine. The conferences promotes cross-fertilization of information and ideas from several cyberlearning related fields: artificial intelligence, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, human-computer interaction, educational technology, psychology, and STEM disciplines.This project will support travel for advanced graduate students from US universities to attend the 11th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), to be held in Chania, Crete, in Greece, from June 15 to 18, 2012 (http://its2012.teicrete.gr). Those advanced graduate students will participate in the Young Research Track at the conference. That track is designed to provide young researchers with mentoring beyond what they get at their home institutions that will help them transition from graduate school to a fruitful research career. Young Researcher activities include structured poster sessions in which students present their work and one-on-one mentoring throughout the conference from a senior member of the ITS community who shares research interests with a young researcher and who comes from a different university and has a different approach than the young researcher experiences in his/her home institution. It is expected that conversations between peers and between mentors and mentees will continue throughout each young researcher's career. This activity supports the mission of NSF to train more advanced professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This conference is unique in its synthesis and cross-fertilization across three STEM capacities: building cutting-edge learning technologies, investigating pedagogical methods that are theoretically grounded in the cognitive, social, and learning sciences, and rigorously testing the learning environments for their effectiveness at promoting learning (in STEM disciplines and other disciplines) among K-12, college, and workplace populations.
