  1. Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008 ThinkSpace – concept mapping and wikis for history teaching Jane Alexen Shuyska Department of Education, University of Oxford

  2. The complications with history Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  3. CONTEXT gone ThinkSpace Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  4. Design-based research • Design-based research (DBR) studies learning-in-context • 2 main aims: design usable artefacts that affect learning and further existing theories of learning • DBR takes an iterative approach: cycles through design, implementation, data gathering, analysis and re-design • DBR requires a lot of time and resources - it’s not an easy solution! Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  5. Understanding the technology Affordance = perceived use of technology / functionality of technology Affordance = 0 / functionality of technology Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  6. Data gathered to date • Notes and running analyses of development of ThinkSpace • Observation notes from lessons • Students’ wiki pages and maps • Interviews with groups of students • Interview with the teacher Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  7. Questions for you: • Is it possible to ‘get a bite of all the layers of the cake’? • - and if yes: how? • How can I integrate multiple levels of analysis to gain insight about both the influence the tool has on students’ learning AND on the context in which this learning is happening? Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008

  8. It’s a mouthful! Doctoral Consortium, ICLS 2008
