Conference: A Proposal to the National Science Foundation for Support of the Seventh Annual Inter-Science of Learning Centers (iSLC) Student / Postdoctoral Scholar Conference

该提案的目的是为第七届跨科学学习中心（iSLC）年度会议获得资金，该会议题为“导航学习科学的未来”。本次会议由学习中心科学（SLC）计划中的六个学习中心科学的学生和博士后研究员组织，将于2014年3月由NSF资助的匹兹堡学习中心科学（PSLC）主办。这笔资金将用于支付与会者出席会议的费用，包括会议登记、旅费、每日津贴和住宿费以及卡内基梅隆大学设施的使用费。2014年会议将在以往会议的基础上，在专题讨论会和方法研讨会中包括跨中心的演讲。此外，会议还将推出特别节目，以实现其支持中心内协作、促进中心间协作以及改善与更广泛社区协作的子目标。为了促进中心间的合作，PSLC的成员将提出知识-学习-教学（KLI）框架，这是一种理论分类法，用于对知识、学习过程和教学原则进行分类和调整。 随后将讨论每个中心的研究如何适合（或不适合）这一框架，或如何KLI可以扩展到适用于更广泛的研究。为了加强与更广泛社区的合作，会议将包括一个关于如何为儿童设计教育博物馆展览的研讨会。这一努力将在匹兹堡儿童博物馆设计和安装的展览中达到高潮。智力优势：iSLC会议一直并将继续对参加会议的研究生和博士后研究员的教育和培训至关重要，并对新兴的跨学科学习科学领域至关重要。围绕选定的主题组织的研究讨论将促进跨中心的合作，并扩大跨学科研究人员在学习科学的专业基础。更广泛的影响：会议对网络的关注提供了重要的社区建设和获得多样化的专业知识，这对于学生/博士后在家中SLC经历的跨学科培训的可持续性至关重要。 这一年度活动使学员能够学习同行的经验，同时接触其他SLC使用的新的和替代的方法、范例和工具。此外，中心将受益于他们的研究生和博士后与其他SLC和其他学科正在进行的工作越来越熟悉。

The purpose of this proposal is to obtain funding for the seventh annual inter-Science ofLearning Centers (iSLC) Conference entitled "Navigating the Future of the Science of Learning. This conference organized by students and postdoctoral fellows of the six Science of Learning Centers in the Science of Learning Centers (SLC) Program will be hosted by the NSF-funded Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center (PSLC) in March, 2014. The funds will be used to cover participants' costs of attending the conference, including conference registration, travel, per diem, and accommodations as well as use of facilities at Carnegie Mellon University. The 2014 Conference will build upon the previous Conferences by including cross-Center presentations in both symposia and methodology workshops. In addition, the conference will feature special programming to address its sub-goals of supporting intra-center collaboration, promoting inter-center collaboration, and improving collaboration with the broader community. To promote inter-center collaboration, members of the PSLC will present the Knowledge-Learning-Instruction (KLI) Framework, a theoretical taxonomy for categorizing and aligning knowledge, learning processes, and instructional principles. This would be followed by a discussion of how each Center's research fits (or does not fit) into this framework, or how the KLI could be extended to be applicable to a wider range of studies. To improve collaboration with the broader community, the conference will include a workshop on how to design educational museum exhibits for children. This effort will culminate in an exhibit being designed and installed at the Pittsburgh Children's Museum.Intellectual Merit:The iSLC Conferences have been and continue to be vital to the education and training of the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who attend them, and to the emerging interdisciplinary Science of Learning field. Research discussions organized around selected themes will facilitate cross-center collaborations and expand the expertise-base of interdisciplinary researchers in the Science of Learning. Broader Impacts:The Conference's focus on networking provides important community-building and access to diverse expertise that is essential for the sustainability of interdisciplinary training that the students/postdocs have experienced at their home SLC. This annual event enables the trainees to learn from the experiences of their peers, while being exposed to new and alternative methodologies, paradigms, and tools used at the other SLCs. In addition, the Centers will benefit from the increased familiarity of their graduate students and postdocs with ongoing work at other SLCs and in other disciplines.
