CAP: CSCL 2015 Doctoral Consortium and Early Career Workshop

学习科学是一个跨学科的领域，借鉴了多种理论观点和研究范式，其目标是在正式和非正式教育环境中推进知识和人类学习和发展知识的应用。 在国际研究社区的背景下，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为参与成本而挣扎。该提案支持美国学生和博士后学者参加将于2015年在瑞典哥德堡举行的国际学习科学学会年会上的博士联盟和早期职业研讨会。与该领域的旗舰会议一起组织讲习班，使讲习班参与者能够进一步接触新的研究，该领域的其他研究人员和潜在的雇主，并以新的面孔和想法振兴社区。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，以及人类表现的相关领域，他们在物质、社会和文化背景下研究认知。学习科学研究的目的是发展关于人们如何学习的基于证据的主张，这些主张具有理论，实践和教学意义。能力建设是学习科学界的一个核心问题。国际学习科学学会在历史上解决了这些需求，部分是通过与学会的两个主要会议一起举办的专门研讨会，以及美国，欧盟和亚洲/太平洋地区区域研究资助者的多边财政支持。博士联盟研讨会主办博士生谁是与他们的论文研究挣扎，而早期职业生涯研讨会是专为最近的博士（博士后，教师在早期任期轨道，和其他人）谁是塑造职业道路。该补助金为通过竞争性申请程序选择参加这些活动的美国学者提供旅行支持。他们的工作在活动中提出，以征求国际专家顾问小组的反馈意见，并在会议记录中发表。

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.
